Cozy but affordable building
Pros
Large windows, quiet neighbors, and market and laundromat just across the street
Cons
The heat on the first floor wasn’t that great in the winter.
Overpriced, but fairly well managed
Pros
Historic building Reasonable response to communications by management time wise
Cons
The banging of the pipes!! No sleep come winter... Had issues with roaches and once a mouse, but landlords pretty quick to address. Biggest issue was they’d slam up the rent by $ three figures at the end of every year, went up a huge amount in only 2 yrs (I moved two blocks into an apartment twice the size for pretty much the same price) - was way overpriced compared to other apartments in the area, and I was one of several who moved out for this reason.
Advice to the owners
Be more reasonable with rents.
