landlord does bare minimum, sometimes not even that
Former Tenant
Pros:
proximity to the subway, live-in super seemed to be a nice person who wanted to make the building better — but was slowed down by landlord's slow responsiveness and failure to regularly reimburse him for supplies
Cons:
huge roaches, landlord special thick paint, scaffolding blocking windows for years. ConEd required them to shut off our cooking gas due to unsafe pipes they hadn't repaired, and it stayed off for 8+ months before we vacated because they didn't make the fixes. They gave us a hot plate instead of being able to use our stove and oven

Good super but no gas
Former Tenant
Pros:
Good area, great bodega downstairs, good super. Cozy apartment for being old.
Cons:
Scaffolding has been up for years, there was no gas in the building when I moved out, and it seemed like they were lying to new tenants about electric stoves being installed. We cooked on hot plates all through the pandemic, and they wouldn't give us (longtime renters!) any discount. Owner wasn’t responsive at all and didn’t treat the super well, who was trying to help tenants and maintain the building.
Advice to owner:
Pay for repairs or cut rent deals with tenants!

A nice apartment in theory but terribly managed
Former Tenant
Pros:
Lots of light, huge living room, close to subway, nice super, big kitchen
Cons:
Completely ghosted by management when asked to fix stuff. We had mice the entire time. Also had bed bugs and had to pay for part of treatment ourselves. Gas was out for 6 months and then we moved so who knows it could even still be out. They gave us hot plates as a replacement and then did electricity repairs so we couldn’t even use them a few days. The trash is around the corner and a pain to get to. Just absolutely terrible management.

Unresponsive landlords
Former Tenant
Pros:
Good sized apartment
Cons:
Multiple building code violations unaddressed for months, mice problems, perpetual scaffolding for year+, no stove or oven, hot water problems.
Landlord does not even have curtesy to respond to emails fix above points.
Landlord does not even have curtesy to respond to emails fix above points.
Advice to owner:
Pick up your phone and answer emails, also fix the building and you won’t have a revolving door of turnover when people move in and immediately break their leases for mold and pests.
