BLDG management worst in class
Pros
Relatively quiet and reasonably clean
Cons
Absolutely awful management, not willing to take any responsibility for issues, no sense of urgency
Advice to the owners
Own your mistakes. Take responsibility.
Good neighbors, okay management, great building
Pros
The building has a mix of rent stabilized and market rate units. The neighbors are all great, some have lived in the building for 50+ years. Overall quick to make some maintenance updates. Clean and updated building. The studios and apts are bigger than average, but not huge. They decorate the lobby for the holidays
Cons
With some being market rate, they converted them to electric heat — it is quite expensive as the insulation isn’t good. I believe the rent stabilized units heat is included. There are some pest problems, but they try to resolve quickly. The exterminator comes every two weeks but you must be home and sometimes he doesn’t show? The super isn’t the most on top of things but if you can reach out to the handyman and porter instead, they are more reliable and kinder.
Advice to the owners
Encourage the super to be more thorough. Insulate better for the market rate tenants, the electric bills are VERY expensive just to have a somwhat warm apt.
