However, others report serious issues such as persistent elevator outages, poor garbage management, pest infestations, and disrespectful superintendent behavior.

1520 is a dump! Starting with the Superintendent Juan Garcia. He’s a creep!

Pros

The maintenance guys are pleasant. (Jr. & the other guy) Hector (the repair man) is nice. Javier is ok.

Cons

The elevator is always out of order. 1of the 2 has been out for 3 months & counting. Packages are stolen daily. The stairs are filthy. The lobby smells like cat urine. The superintendent (Juan) is disrespectful and nonchalant about repairs. He flirts with me and other tenants. The cameras only work when Juan says so. The water always shuts off.

Advice to the owners

Have compassion for the tenants who actually pay rent. We need a new superintendent!!
