Loses Heat and Hot Water a lot, plus antiquated rent paying system

Pros

Location, quiet street, most units are renovated. Super is responsive when called, wish I could say the same about building manager/landlord.

Cons

1) lots of loss of heat & hot water randomly over the winter. Once 6 times in a month. This was building-wide. The super would answer on his emergency number and fix it quickly, but this shouldn’t have happened in the first place! 2) landlord/manager insists on having the rent checks MAILED to their Connecticut address. Like, get and ACH debit system. 3) staircase between 3rd and 4th floor is wobbly; building is kind of falling apart when you get to the top floor 4) can’t they put some laundry in the basement?

Advice to the owners

Fix boiler PERMANENTLY. Switch rent payment to ACH debit or website. fix upper areas and put in laundry because the laundromat down the block charges FOUR DOLLARS a wash!
