    I Hope You Brought a Sweater (And A/C)
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Large sized units
    Rent Stabilized
    Quiet (relative to the area)
    Cons:
    Gets very hot in summer (no central air) and the way the unit is laid out one A/C in the living room does not get the job done
    Cold in the winter (currently 4 degrees under the legal minimum)
    Drafty windows, even after winterizing them
    No ceiling light in the living room
    Incompetent Super
    Unresponsive Management
    Next to a building with poor garbage management, so a colony of rats has emerged
    No Washer/Dryer in building
    Advice to owner:
    Properly heat your units, and get a coherent and responsive super.

    Severely infested with roaches
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Good location, great super, huge apartments
    Cons:
    ROACHES EVERYWHERE: hallways, elevator and inside your apartment, no matter how many measures you take. The walls are also super thin: you can hear your neighbor sneeze.
    Advice to owner:
    Invest more in getting rid of the roaches (e.g., cleaning garbage disposals, fixing leaks) and do better quality renovations (the kitchen in my apartment was new-ish/updated, but they didn't fix the basic things like holes under the sink and behind cabinets).

    Awful new management
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Massive apartments. Hardwood floors. Oversized bedrooms. High ceilings.
    Cons:
    New owners are treating this building like a total slum. Elevator is constantly out leaving older tenants trapped in their apartments. Rodent problems. Garbage piles up for days. Angry and hostile superintendent.
    Advice to owner:
    None. We all know a slumlord when we see one.
