A perfectly fine home
Pros
Hallways and stairwells were moped and cleaned every couple of days, roof was sometimes dirty but that was tenants fault - it would get cleaned up every couple of days. Thin ceilings so you could definitely tell if your upstairs neighbor was being unreasonably loud. Great neighbors - not over friendly but willing to help a hand if needed. Packages never stolen.
Cons
Management was sometimes slow to respond to requests - had difficulties getting a replacement appliance
Advice to the owners
Maybe add some basic roof furniture

Pros
Great location! Building is pretty clean (noting that there were rats plaguing the downstairs before they put in the trash chute) Pest control came regularly to check on the units. overall responsive managment.
Cons
There was a ton of construction going on while I lived here and it was extremely loud all day. Not sure if that’s still the case but it was tough for WFH. The woman who moved into the first floor was always banging on the ceiling and screaming? The heat went off a couple times in the winter and the hot water.
