You get a little more than you pay for
Pros
Nice super who is very responsive, keeps things clean and will fix small things in the apartment; newly renovated unit; great location; virtual doorman
Cons
Incredibly unresponsive management which sometimes blocks super from being able to do his job; walls can be a little thin if your neighbor is loud; heat is always too hot come winter; theft of packages in lobby
Advice to the owners
Be a little more respectful of your tenants. Responsiveness, if when you don't have immediate solutions, will go a long way. No need to put the blame on others, small actions on your end to show that you care will make this a go from a decent to great building
5 story cardboard box
Pros
The super is very responsive and tries to be helpful, unfortunately his bosses prefer to avoid spending money on fixing things whenever possible
Cons
This building was built with 0 insulation between apartments. You will hear all neighbors even having a normal phone call or work meeting. Every step they take will shake all your walls. Neighbors are constantly fighting about noise bothering each other, but honestly its not their fault, the walls floors and ceilings are just paper thin. Management won't do any of it unless pushed *very* hard (there is 1 instance I know of, of them paying to open a wall and adding insulation) because the neighbors were fighting so aggressively over it Another great "feature" is your apartment will shake every time the elevator is used
Advice to the owners
Open up the walls and floors, and some minimal insulation between apartments before charging luxury-like rents. Also time to install real security cameras instead of fake ones
