Quiet Building, mice, constant construction
Pros
The majority of the neighbors are kind, the building is on the quiet side, I like that you can pay for the laundry machines via an app or fob, nice sized rooms, management responds to emails quickly, proximity to the A/C/1 & many bus lines. Great elevator.
Cons
The Super doesn’t follow through on work when he says he will - always needs to be reminded even when an appointment is made. Mice in many apartments. Water bugs in the basement. Constant construction due to a fire in Nov 2025 (writing this May 2026). Windows aren’t good which makes the apartments very cold in the winter & the radiators don’t fully warm the units - multiple windows of mine had to be sealed with plastic wrap (side note, the fire was started by a space heater). Floors are very creaky. No porter & the Super has his hands full with tasks, so the building is filthy.
Advice to the owners
Hire an assistant for the Super so the building can be maintained. It used to be beautiful, now it’s disgusting. Windows need to be replaced or in the meantime, radiators need to be bigger.
Terrible building management
Pros
Good package room, sizable bedrooms
Cons
Pest control impossible to get unless you’re free all day Saturday, super unresponsive management to issues
Advice to the owners
Hire more people to manage your buildings
