Decent building, decent management
Pros
The location is excellent. The building is fairly quiet, although some neighbors can occasionally be noisy / pets will make lots of sounds. Management and building maintenance are reasonably responsive, and the exterminator comes around every month. Rent increases have been reasonable every year, although units feel slightly overpriced for what they are.
Cons
The halls, basement, and public spaces are sometimes dirty. In my unit the heat has been slightly on the weaker side, and the water pressure is also a little weak. Although maintenance is responsive, they tend to implement fairly hack-y fixes for issues - for example, they will paint over things instead of doing proper repairs. Package theft is an issue since packages are just dropped off in the entry way.
Started off good…
Pros
The main entrance is generally clean, laundry on site, maintenance workers are nice and helpful when needed, elevator in building, good location
Cons
My hot water pressure has always been on the lower side, but now it’s REALLY low in my bathtub and I was told “that’s just how it is.” At the same time, I’m on the ground floor and my unit is always so hot because of the boiler room below. And not a complaint about the maintenance guys, but some of the neighbors that have moved in over the last year are highly inconsiderate. Loud noise and dogs that bark all day, leaving trash on the floor rather than in the bins, not breaking down boxes, etc. There have also been a few instances of doors getting jammed and having to call a locksmith (my own and others). I noticed that a lot went downhill when the super that was here when I first moved in got let go. He really kept the place clean and the people in check 😢
