Perfect for solo tenants who like quiet
Pros
Units are small so tenants don’t tend to have parties or be overly loud. Affordable (relatively) for a 1 br unit.
Cons
Landlord could be more responsive, you really have to make an effort to get in contact. Appliances are old and small.
Advice to the owners
Small upgrades would go a long way, like modernizing appliances. But keep rent prices affordable and people will likely excuse those smaller things!
I would not recommend this building
Pros
Management changed broken stove quickly. Heat is fine.
Cons
Management is not responsive most of the times unless subject is related to rent payment. Replacement of mailbox key - no response. Apartment has never looked the same as I was shown by broker. On first day I noticed ceiling cracks from leaking. I asked to repair it - no response. Roaches, mice and bed bugs. Dirty hall stairs Broken lock. One time I was locked inside the building due to broken lock. I called management and super so many times. No response. It is very hard to get management attention to your problem. Management responds quickly only when it is related to rent payment.
Advice to the owners
Communicate with your tenants. It is not normal to answer question about alternative rent payment quickly and ignore all other emails and phone calls about tenant’s problem. Clean stairs more often during summer.
