Good first apartment, but not well kept

Pros

Good bones to the building, nice neighbors, spacious unit, good finishes

Cons

No help with pest control over the years - had mice and roaches by the time we left

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

Overall a good experience

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.
