Pros:
Nothing I can think about.
Cons:
The entire building has been without an elevator since September 2021. How is it possible for a management to allow this issue to go for this long? Knowing, the building is 6 stories high. Disable, seniors, pregnant women, and tenants that have medical needs live in the property. The management has very poor follow-up skills. We only got 10% credit for 3 months. What happened to the months after September onward? The management keeps telling us next month the elevator will be fixed, but next month keeps rolling into another month and another. Unreliable.
The maintenance in the building is horrible. Cracked paint falling off the walls, hallway smells, mold infested walls, probably asbestos. The super does not mop or sweep the building. Only the lobby. We can go for weeks and the building is not mopped. Roaches the size of cars everywhere from the staircase to your apartment. Disgusting.
The courtyard is not cleaned, broken intercom, broken mailboxes, broken glass on the ground in the courtyard, and garbage left by tenants in the lobby.
Leaks. Oh my. Where should I begin? Leaks are everywhere in everyone’s apartment. Leaks in the bathroom in the kitchen in your bedroom. You name it. Not once, but multiple times. The maintenance in this property is horrible and not well kept.
Most tenants are respectful, but most don’t care. You have vampire tenants who think no one deserves to rest. Manangement does nothing. Instead, management tells you to solve it on your own, because has nothing to do with them.
The management does not respond to calls or emails. Maybe, just maybe once. You would need to keep continuously calling or emailing. Constantly following up with the Manangement office.
I, personally, do not recommend anyone to rent from this Manangement. They only want your money, but don’t want to fix or treat tenants with respect.
Advice to owner:
First, stop with the unrealizable lies to tenants. Stop treating tenants, especially minorities like shit. If you don’t want the building or to do anything with the building, simple, sell it. Fix the elevator. We are all going on 9 months and no elevator service. Give the tenants credit for the entire months we had no elevator. Be responsive. Be respectful. Take time and visit the property to witness the condition the building is in.
