“Unit A-4 Pros: -Very Kind and Responsive Management -Clean Unit Cons: -Food smells drift between units”

“Unit E11 Pros: I don't have any major complaints and I don't plan to move any time soon. The best things about this apartment are obivously the location, and the space you get for the price. Also it is rent stabilized, which is a huge perk. Additional pros: The building super is usually quick to respond about issues. Foyer area is always tidy, and garbage area is maintained/taken care of regularly. Heat/hot water are included and work well (at least in my unit). I find my unit to be fairly quiet, with minimal sounds heard from neighboring units. Cons: Roaches sometimes, even though they spray regularly. Though the building super is *quick* to respond about issues, he gives a bit of an attitude and treats you like you're bothering him, which is annoying. Despite it being a non-smoking building, I frequently catch people (including the building super himself!) smoking in the stairwell. Packages are sometimes stolen from lobby, which is frustrating.”

“Pros: Location, exterminator comes monthly( for the most part), good heating Cons: Interior of building not maintained bathtub constantly peeling floors in my apartment aren’t leveled and also have cracks between walls weren’t properly sealed so bugs can crawl in repairs never happen even if you bring it to their attention No sanitation measures in place throughout covid, building is filthy Advice to landlord: Maintain building better and be more responsive when issues are brought to your attention”

“Pros: The super is responsive, the public areas are cleaned regularly, trash is taken out on time, the rent is cheap for the square footage I’m getting, the neighborhood is nice and quiet, close to the train and several buses, close to Fresh Pond and lots of shops and restaurants Cons: The apartment I moved into was incredibly dirty. I spent several hours cleaning. Roaches come up through my bath drain, even though they spray regularly. They are small roaches, so it seems to be an infestation of the building. The windows are terrible, the cold comes in immediately. The floors are thin and I hear every noise from my upstairs neighbor. The furnace is incredibly loud and wakes me up at night. It sounds like a UFO hovering outside, it’s really bizarre. Rent is cheap but not sure it’s worth it anymore. And I don’t have any contact info for the owner, only the super Advice to landlord: Make significant upgrades and your residents will be much happier in the long run”

“Pros: Neighborhood and convenience. I do miss this area. Building was ok. Rent was affordable. Super only fixed things well if you were polish. Building was quiet — lot of elderly tenants maybe that’s why. Cons: Mice. Walk up(sometimes depending on my day). Landlord would carryon and give you a sob story if something had to be fixed. Very dramatic. New super pushed out old super. New super not so good. Advice to landlord: Stop the Dramatics. Just fix it.”
