Stay away, rent at your own risk
Pros
Rent is cheap and most units have W/D, dishwasher and the superintendent is actually diligent.
Cons
Management is unresponsive, building is poorly designed, extremely cold, no heating in units, poor air circulation (need 3 AC units to keep it bearable in Summer, drafty windows that let in humidity in Summer and cold air in Winter, pipe buildup that has resulted in sewage overflow in the kitchen. Upstairs neighbors leave kids unattended that have flooded the bathroom and thus flowing into my unit. Other neighbor is a meth addict that stalks you from their window as you exit the building and screams for hours on end.
Advice to the owners
Get one or two more staff people, do what you reqsonably can to keep the good responsible tenants happy in their units, and evict the tenants that don't take care of theirs and don't pay their rent.
