Ridiculously noisy neighbor and no help getting it resolved
Former Tenant
Pros:
They do have laundry in the building, but it's expensive and the machines always break.
Cons:
Baby cockroach-infested throughout, although if you buy those cockroach poison traps, you may not see them in your unit, but they're all over the rest of the building. Walls are super thin and I, in particular, have an upstairs neighbor who is super noisy. He blasts his television/music sometimes as late as 3 AM, sometimes as early as 6 AM, and the property management team, "the board", does absolutely nothing about it. I've had to call the police on him to get them to intervene, since the apartment management team won't. Wish I knew all of this before moving in.
Advice to owner:
Respond to noise complaints promptly and actually DO something about it. Make there be REAL consequences to people who are way too noisy at unreasonable hours of the day.

Steadily deteriorating. Look elsewhere
Former Tenant
Pros:
Reasonable rent in a fairly decent neighborhood
Cons:
Super is incredibly slow to fix any issues. Literally had to threaten to sue for him to fix a leak in the bathroom. Took over a year to respond until the ceiling caved in. Very little to no upkeep to the apartment in the 10 years I’ve lived here…. A year later, the bathroom is slowly cracking again. Proof that the problem was patched up, but not fixed.
Advice to owner:
Fix small problems before they cause major damage
