Great building to live in
Former Tenant
Pros:
Was renovated in the late 2010s and amenities/common spaces are great. Doorpeople are wonderful.
Cons:
Some cockroaches on the 2nd floor. Washer/dryer not really easy to use. The condo is not friendly with subletting and did try to extort my roommate into breaking their lease or paying $5k to get a subletter.
