Decently upkept apt if you're a new renter
Pros
Our bldg is cleaned most days by the super and a cleaning person, we have once a month pest spraying, garbage area in basement is cared for. Super/management is very responsive if you are a new renter who is not rent controlled.
Cons
Most residents who are rent controlled do not get responses fast from management or super. Issues around heat and water persist for them. If you do not sign up for monthly spraying, roaches get bad. We ended up moving out after 8 years because they broke from our rent stabilization to raise our rent by hundreds. We were already considering moving out of state, but we made a final decision when we were told our rent was going up significantly.
Advice to the owners
Take better care of your rent controlled apartments. The issues that exist for them impact new renters as well as old. Water issues turn into leaks for everyone, pest management creates issues for the building. Also new renters want their neighbors taken care of.
A nice building
Pros
On site super Very well maintained Neighbors are mostly very kind Tenants Union
Cons
Some units are rent stabilized and others not, seems wrong...
