    Great area but would avoid this building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    No issues with neighbors / pests.
    Cons:
    Overall, the building is not well maintained (e.g., broken / cracked / dirty stairs & hallway, dirty unit upon move-in). Super is difficult to coordinate with if any issues arise. Units are uncomfortably hot in the winter.
    Advice to owner:
    Make repairs to the units / building, add laundry
