Good Starter Apartment

Pros

Building is well marinated despite its age Serious issues handled quickly Charming area New verizon internet is a big quality of life improvement

Cons

Laundry machines prone to breaking and little follow up from management to confirm when repairs are done, often broken machines are just plugged back into to fleece more money out of tenants. elevator is slow and requires you to pull open a heavy door to enter, often fine but tough if you are carrying alot

Advice to the owners

Improve transparency with tenants when addressing building level issues, follow up as issues are addressed with concrete updates of progress and when possible provide proof that repairs are underway or complete

Good, Old Building

Pros

Very nice location, quiet generally, laundry in the building, sizable units for the price

Cons

It's old so it shows its age, floors squeak, etc. Recycling needs to be carried into the basement which is more annoying than a real problem
