Pests and overall bare bones maintenance.
Pros
Large apartments. Friendly super and porter. Nice area and affordable rent.
Cons
Repeated bedbug episodes. Building management would treat, but just the bare minimum treatment. It became musical chairs of rotating apartments with bedbugs, since some tenants were not taking care of their apartments or would hide that they had a bedbug problem and lax treatment from management perpetuated the issue. This was several years back; hopefully, the situation has improved.
Advice to the owners
If you have bedbugs in a property, you must go after the issue in full force and educate your tenants to speak up when they have a problem. One apartments bedbug problem becomes the problem of all their neighbors. An infestation can really destroy the mental health and well being of someone living through it.
Not a Good Place to Live
