Solid pre-war apartment
Former Tenant
Pros:
On-site Super and his family is kind and helpful.
Spacious apartments with hardwood floor, eat in kitchen, sunk-in living room, all the pre-war charm. Landlord is not fussy and lease renewal process has always been smooth and on time.
Cons:
Occasionally there could be mini roaches but they do send exterminators if need.
bathroom and kitchen can use a bit more update/renovation.

Lived here happily for 15 years
Former Tenant
Pros:
Really nice and reachable super.
Cons:
Elevators are old and in need of replacement. Sloooow.
Owner stingy on maintenance and required internal paint jobs.
Kitchens and bathrooms not adequately maintained, patched up until you move out and the price can be jacked up.
Advice to owner:
Better care for the apartments. Regular maintenance and servicing will lower costs in the long run.

Good rental building in the Heights
Former Tenant
Pros:
I've lived in this building my whole life. It's a nice, older-style building. Things are kept up pretty well, and the current superintendent, here since around 2006, and his entire family, are just super lovely and responsible people. Currently, the tenants are a really nice mix of ages/ethnicities, etc. A few years ago I was leery of the direction things were going, but this seems to have improved, with continued additions of lovely young families. The building is about 2 blocks away from the A train, 1.5 blocks from Broadway, near stores, and a short walk from the 1 train.
Cons:
The building is located at the foot of both an outdoor staircase and a long, steep hill, with the result being much noise--it's a through street, and bikers, etc. go racing down the hill sometimes. It doesn't bother me, I'm used to it, but it is a thing.
Crime is also a concern--someone recently tried getting into the lobby overnight by physically removing the lock plate from the door. The lock was strong enough and held, and the plate has been repaired. The mail room is now locked overnight to prevent package theft.
Advice to owner:
More washing machines in the laundry room would be appreciated--we started off with 3, briefly had 4, now are down to 2. On the flip side, some upgrades have been made, such as setting a cement block underneath them.
