    Nice building with great people
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Friendly tenants, large and spacious, elevator in building, laundry in basement
    Cons:
    Sometimes the super is hard to reach and you have to ask multiple times for things to be done- also very messy with his work and doesn’t clean up after himself when he’s done.

    Elevator building
    Cheap rent
    Cons:
    We had mold in our bathroom and all the super did was put paint over it.
    Lots of loud neighbors.
