    Cozy Greenich stay but the building is old
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The neighborhood is amazing, many awesome restaurants and cafes around and the food options are really great.
    Cons:
    Pest issues here and there due to restaurant construction downstairs. Walls aren't very sound proof. The management isn't responsive regarding complaints.

    decent building but...
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    fairly clean, live in super, nice doorman, laundry, elevator.
    Cons:
    1. the gas went out for like 8 months during covid, we got crappy hot plates that did nothing than warm your food at best. 2. the elevator is EXCRUCIATINGLY SLOW that it might as well be a walk up building. it take 5 seconds to move from floor to floor. I'm on the 6th floor which means it takes at LEAST 30 seconds to get up there and if the elevator is moving up while you're in the lobby, you're looking at least double the time and that's assuming its coming straight instead of stops in between, it sucks in the summer and lobby has no air so its gets very stuffy. If you're in the basement doing your laundry, you'll get stuck in there. I was stuck for 8 minutes one time because of this and there's no way to get in or out of the basement without the elevator. 3. counter space - non existent 4. doorman is great, but no point in having one who's just there from 4pm to 12am. pretty sure they do this just to have high rent prices. 5. the laundry works well and fine, the only issue is that every so often I find pet dander in my clothes which flares up my allergies. 6. on 3 occasions the hot water has gone out; 2 of those without notice. 7. one of the porters is a VERY heavy smoker, at times the elevator REEKS of cigarettes, and has even left the lovely fragrance in my unit after the pest control guy did his thing...just fantastic if you're allergic or asthmatic. the intercom is connected to your phone which has outages ALL THE TIME. Frustrating to live here. pay a few extra bucks and live in a better managed Building.
    Advice to owner:
    for the love of all that is holy....make the elevator faster, or let tenants have access to the basement via stairs like the doorman has. this by far the worst elevator building I've lived in, as stated before, it might as well be a walk up building. find a better intercom system, having constant outages is very frustrating, this is an amenity being paid for which only deliver about 70% of the time. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE designate s washer and dryer exclusive to pets so tenants with allergies dont suffer because pet parents use whatever machine they want. set up a portal where tenants can announce things like furniture they no longer want, people love free things, a tenant can take unwanted things which leaves less clutter in the garbage area.

    Love living here
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Incredibly convenient location, big rooms, friendly and responsive building staff, great neighbors, includes monthly pest control.
    Cons:
    It gets very hot in the winter bc of the central heating.

    Decent Building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Super, handyman are good. Great doorman.
    Cons:
    Management sucks and won’t do anything when you have issues that require assistance beyond super/handyman. They also overcharge rent. The basement closes at 12AM when doorman leaves until ~9am so you can’t take out trash during those hours.
    Advice to owner:
    Doorman 24/7 and better trash disposal system.

    Solid place so far
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Live-in super and the weekday doorman are great. Our apartment is pretty big. Location is perfect. They take care of the building.
    Cons:
    Doorman only in evening. Old building so stuff breaks (gas went out last year). Lots of college students (though they aren't that annoying).
