Former tenant·Over 3 years ago
Beautiful but old building in need of updates
Pros
Lots of sunlight, huge apartments, old fashioned style, privacy and relatively quiet
Cons
Most appliances need to be updated, and the aging infrastructure allows for pests to easily enter and for heat to escape in the winter, leading to super high bills for a still-chilly apartment. Ants, cockroaches, and centipedes are relatively common issues in the summer, particularly in the bathroom. I have requested exterminators before but have never seen one. The rent gets jacked up too much every year even though problems get fixed slowly.
