Excellent landlord and great location!
Pros
-Family owned. Landlord and super are very responsive to requests. Only experienced minor issues and they were very quick to respond each time. -Close to central park and major subways. -Building is serviced each month by a pest control company and offers each unit service (paid for by the landlord). Never had an issue with bugs here. -Beautiful exposed brick and charming historic touches preserved well. -Not much transience. Most people in the building have been living here for years. -Building has a really cool history in the art scene. -While the tenants usually keep to themselves, neighbors are very friendly and there is a community-oriented vibe.
Cons
-Old building so there is poor insulation. Difficult to heat/cool. Summers are okay but bedroom can get cold in the winter even with the heat. -Noise does travel between apartments very easily. Most people have rugs to limit noise. Walking around in boots and heels inside the apartments is discouraged.
Advice to the owners
