Building requires investment

Pros

Great floor plans, large rooms, nice views, really courteous staff

Cons

Heat does not work sufficiently in the winter. Apartments are scorching hot (>80 degrees) in the summer with AC on maximum. At least one elevator out of service at a time. Management unresponsive and overwhelmed by the magnitude of tenant complaints.

Advice to the owners

Invest appropriately in the building so that basic needs (heat/AC/hot water/elevators) are met.
