Great neighborhood, super, and neighbors, not so great landlord.
Pros
Nice neighbors, nice apartments, great Hudson River views.
Cons
Cockroach problem in the basement, frequent water and heat issues, super seems overwhelmed a lot of the time.
Nice location and neighbors, terrible management
Pros
Neighbors, location, neighborhood
Cons
Landlord has threatened tenants in the past; illegally destabilized apartments. Building was once nice but has steadily gone downhill in last 10 years. Super is non-responsive. Management ignores problems until they because huge and sometimes dangerous issues. Constant band-aiding of building issues rather than regular maintenance.
Advice to the owners
Stop ignoring problems or executing shoddy fixes that inevitably lead to more serious issues. Eg, leaving a sidewalk shed up for six+ years is not a solution to crumbling masonry. Same with the leaking roof. You must provide heat and hot water BY LAW.
