If you can afford to live elsewhere, you should
Pros
In my particular unit, there's a washer and dryer. Kitchen is a decent size. Rooms on opposite sides of the apartment. Very close to the train station.
Cons
- The super is useless - management is awful and truly run by the scum of the earth, they will not do anything to help - building is infested with roaches - My apartment has shelves that are illegally placed - the secretary who you always will have to talk to from Zalmen management is awful - People on the street blast music constantly after midnight - Every time you take out the trash you are met with 3 for rats that may run over your feet - the buzzer is ALWAYS broken, I wouldn't send expensive packages here - someone smokes in the hallways which can get into the apartments - if hot water shuts off there are no updates - in the winter the boiler usually breaks at least once - I'm going to reiterate, the super is useless, you'd have to call him everyday for like a week to get him to do something - this is one of those buildings that they want to "renovate" to hike up rent - the smell from the dumpsters rise up into the apartments (especially during summer)
