Okay building, great neighborhood
Former Tenant
Pros:
individual apartment renovations are great, neighbors are mostly elderly and quiet. In-building laundry, great area near parks and grocery stores.
Cons:
Building has not been renovated since the 60s (individual units have been updated though), the building is not clean. Actively dirty at times.
Advice to owner:
More cleaning services!!
