Rats and pests in the walls
Former Tenant
Pros:
good location, management responds promptly but wouldn’t have to handle so many emergencies if they continuously upkept the building
Cons:
Full of rats, rat mites, dead rats in the walls causing fly infestations
Advice to owner:
Regular pest upkeep
Over 1 year ago

Over 2 years ago
Management unresponsive, old building
Former Tenant
Pros:
Super and porter are ok. Super tends to ignore your call but will get back to you eventually
Cons:
Building manager is a lost cause. Does not respond or take any action. There's a family on the second floor that's extremely loud and leaves their door open when they cook. Some of the apartments/neighbors are still using fuses instead of a circuit breaker panel which shows you how old the wiring is
Advice to owner:
Clean the hallway/stairs more often. Bring the building to the 21st century with video doorbells.
