Pros: i'm not sleeping on the street Cons: hot water went out 20+ times last winter, ~5-10 times this winter. water has gone out entirely ~5 times in two years. went the first five months of our lease without a working oven despite repeated complaints. every step from sending someone to look, ordering parts, attempting and failing to install parts, landlord following up with us, ordering a new stove, getting it delivered, and finally getting it installed all took numerous emails. went two months without a working refrigerator. called the emergency line several times. reported issues via online tickets multiple times. didn't hear from a super until we stopped him in the street when passing by him. several defects that are annoying but not worth reporting to the landlord given everything above. broken toilet paper holder, broken towel bar, broken cabinet door, broken closet door. only five electrical outlets in the entire apartment and one is inside of an upper cabinet in the kitchen. only one in the bedroom and it's below the baseboard heater, which means the bed cannot be placed near it. entire apartment is baseboard heaters which eliminates essentially half the small apartment from having furniture placed against it. we just use a space heater because we simply wouldn't have room for furniture otherwise. roof in hallway leaks terribly during heavy rain. plaster falls down from the ceiling, water collects at the top of the stairs and drips down to the landings of lower floors. last year the leaking destroyed the smoke detector which has never been replaced. front door keyhole has broken on two separate occasions and we had to leave a wedge in the door in order to access the building, which left us prone to anyone coming in the building. handle on the vestibule door (which doesn't need to exist because it has no lock and serves only as an inconvenience) broke and was not replaced for several weeks. landlord/properly management wildly incompetent, grossly neglectful, and only has any consistency in delivering an unwelcome rent bill stuck in the door despite our paying online and never having missed a payment. if i could get them arrested i would. speaking of which, police have come banging on our door at 3 am on two separate occasions (i wish i was lying or exaggerating) in search of a previous tenant who, upon the police's first visit, had not lived here in at least a year. the second occasion came months later. i hate it here <3 Advice to landlord: get a new job

Pros: Close to subways? Cons: - Spiders/silverfish - Water pressure is terrible (constantly pulses plus the temperature is wonky) - Management rarely gets back to you - Heat barely works - Intercom has been broken for almost a year & management still hasn't fixed it - Packages stolen - Hallway ceiling leaks when it rains - Poorly upkept property in general (lobby door handle fell off and it was replaced with duct tape) - Building smells like cigarettes

Unit 15 Pros: The apartments contain just enough space Cons: Management can be unresponsive.
