Great location but not worth the rent you pay
Former Tenant
Pros:
The location of the building is great. Less than a minute walk from the downtown 1 train.
Cons:
Roaches have infested many apartments, the halls on some floors have them too. The garbage situation on each floor is unbelievable. Scaffolding on front of building and inner courtyard making some apartments very dark in rooms. Packages stolen from package room — neighbors have complained and asked for video from camera pointing to package room. Former super said there is no video to share. Some tenants don’t clean up after their pets accidents in the building. Elevators often out of service or someone telling you they just got stuck in the elevator and to take the other one instead. And the rent raises significantly each year.
