Good building with flaws
Pros
Pre-war building. Good location. Good neighbors. Rent stabilized. Super on premises. Relatively spacious apartments.
Cons
Heat and Hot water on and off. Package theft. Elevator frequently out of service. Seasonal pest problems.
Advice to the owners
The elevator is a necessity for Seniors living in the building. It frequently gets stuck, despite a previous repair, which tenants are still paying for. Also, would be good to follow up on Amazon locker and Internet providers other than Spectrum.
Unresponsive super, pest infestation
Pros
Good water pressure, spacious.
Cons
Cockroach infestation that the building did not have under control. The super went on vacation for months and did not have a reliable back-up to contact.
Advice to the owners
Let tenants know if super will be unavailable, take more drastic measures to drive out roaches
