Pros and cons of 453 E 14th

Pros

Porters are great and work very hard to keep common areas clean. Laundry in building and nice bike storage.

Cons

Occasional loud parties at night, marijuana smoke is frequent, public safety doesn’t follow up with calls regarding issues and resident services takes weeks to handle issues. If something goes wrong in your unit you should anticipate waiting a minimum of 6 weeks for it to be fixed and that’s if you stay on top of them to get things corrected.

Advice to the owners

Stop spending money on frivolous products and services. Streamline resident service issues so that residents issues are handled quicker.

Renter Q&A

Are the thin walls a deal breaker? How bad are we talking?

Over 3 years ago

Absolute deal breaker unless you just plan on contributing to all the noise and won't hear others. I can hear my neighbors above/below/next to me. Watching TV, talking, walking, going to the bathroom, etc. We normally blast the volume of our TV to drown out the noise. Also, I've learned over the years that everyone can hear your conversations inside the apartment from the hallway of your floor. We have to remind each other to speak softly when having certain conversations in case someone is outside in the hallways.

Over 3 years ago

I don't think the walls are thin (they're solid brick). We have a very loud neighbor who has a kid that *loves to scream* but it's not often enough that it's a major nuisance. I think generally it's quiet enough that it doesn't cause major disturbances. Overall, this is a very nice place to live.
