Sunnyside Landlord Ordered to Restore Superintendents
Vantage Properties, a Queens landlord that owns several apartment buildings in Sunnyside and Woodside, was ordered last month by the Dept. of Housing Preservation and Development to provide live-in superintendents in their buildings.

a word of warning: don’t rent from a vantage bldg. you won’t get any response if you need major repairs, such as if your bathroom ceiling is falling in cause your upstairs neighbor flooded his bathroom. our super was great, but anything through the company is a nightmare.
to sum up the 24hr number: after 5 the only guy that answers is Jackson the security guard. Think he can help if you need emergency repairs?
