    Overall a good experience
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Generally a responsive super, renovated apt upon move-in, organized trash system, buzzer intercom to phone, kind landlord who is quick to attend to major repairs for my unit, office correspondence has improved
    Cons:
    Mail theft in lobby, which I realize is now a common problem in the city and not isolated to this building, loud neighbors at times, water temp/pressure needs some TLC after many years of working fine.
