Worth the space
Pros
Apartments are big! Prewar and have so much character.
Cons
Management fixes things in a terrible way and MAJOR boiler issues. Water is often brown in bathroom and must let run before coming clear. New super is eh- and some neighbors are rowdy.
Advice to the owners
More experienced super, change the boiler asap. Rent too high.
Great Location; Mediocre Building
Pros
It's a safe place to live. People generally keep to themselves. Somewhat friendly.
Cons
The noise level emananating from some neighbors can be absurdly loud on weekends, and sometimes, on weeknights. Some neighbors do not observe recycling, creating a potential for pests, which we have in the summer (waterbugs, and HUGE roaches). Some apartments have centipedes.
Advice to the owners
Take a stand on complaints from tenants rather than telling them they're free to break their lease. Check in on the status of recycling, not just from the Superintendant, but by being present to oversee progress or lack thereof.
