Too many problems

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

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 the owners

Better door lock so packages don't get stolen, please invest in pest control

Renter Q&A

Did they resolve the cockroaches issue?

Over 1 year ago

Hey, definitely not. Pest control comes monthly but it's meager and the roaches are the worst in the summer/warm months - I keep everything very clean and stored in glass jars. I recently have seen them come out of screw holes in the drywall as well.
