    Too many problems
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location is amazing and convenient
    Cons:
    The apartments are all chopped up and not true two bedrooms. Roach infestation in the building is a major problem that isn’t fixed and they also barely turn heat on in winter. Plus my hot water has been a problem every winter - either won’t run or goes out mid shower.

    Home for years but honestly not a great building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Love the area, love the neighbors, loved my home after putting a TON of work into fixing it up while living there.
    Cons:
    Honestly the building management was insanely unresponsive. First moved in and the radiator exploded, then I had a mice infestation it took them 2 MONTHS to fully assess after threatening to withhold rent. Then I've had a steady flow of roaches for the remaining 3 years. It's part of living in the city to an extent, but this building is just not great. Whenever something has needed repairs in-unit OR in-building oveer the years, they have always chosen a cheaper & worse option to replace it. Once they tried replacing my bedroom ceiling fan with a bathroom vanity light. Great location, you get what you pay for, but beware!
    Advice to owner:
    Better door lock so packages don't get stolen, please invest in pest control
