Becomes too expensive after two years for what they offer
Former Tenant
Pros:
The unit was recently renovated and it is in good condition. There were no pests on my unit and the exterminator came often to prevent any issues.
Cons:
This was a 2/1 and it was too small. More like a 1/1 that was turned into a 2/1. The kitchen and living room area are connected, so if you cook a lot, expect your living room to smell like your food.
Outside the unit, the building does not have a dedicated super, so it will get dirty in the common areas often and the trash will pile up. I had to submit multiple work orders to ask them to clean.
Also, the laundry room works but is used by other people from other buildings who sneak in. This makes it hard to use, since it only has 4 washers and 4 dryers.
Finally, the building is managed by a property management firm that is not friendly and follows the contract to the letter. Do not expect any favors from them and read the contract in detail to prevent any future issues. Treat them as they would treat you and you should be fine. For example, ask for a move-in inspection and document the condition you received the apartment. If not, they will bill you on things that are not your fault.

Advice to owner:
Have a dedicated super to the building and treat us like humans when we ask for reasonable things.
