    Roach infested apartment
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The area is quiet and you are able to find parking easily
    Cons:
    I lived on in apartment 3G which is a sublet. The owner is extremely cheap the cabinets are from 1920s the apartment is full of roaches and a fly infestation. The heat is very low to none existing I had to have a space heater which bumped my electricity bill during the winter.
    Advice to owner:
    Fix the kitchen, take care of roach infestation
    Over 2 years ago
    It’s okay I guess.
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Close proximity to all essential businesses, the park and train. Laundry and elevator in building.
    Cons:
    The building is RARELY CLEANED. Roaches are a thing. If anything ever breaks, the live in super just ignores you and the problem does not get solved. Outdoor cleanliness is also not a thing. The laundry room is small and machines are always filthy or broken. Mind you, there are 3 washers and 2 dryers for 7 floors of apartments. Packages get stolen.
    Advice to owner:
    Get a cleaning/maintenance group ASAP.

    Good holding
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Close to public transportation, shopping. Safe neighborhood with a good mixture of residential.
    Cons:
    Súper is nice, but unresponsive at times.
    Advice to owner:
    Add working cameras!

    Could use improvements but overall it’s a decent to live
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Elevator, laundry in building, great neighborhood and neighbors. Easy access to the train.
    Cons:
    There aren’t many laundry machines but the laundromat is close by. Super isn’t responsive and rarely fixes issues in the apartment. Pieces of trash are left outside…they could do better keeping up appearances with the rest of the neighborhood.
    Advice to owner:
    Please check in on the basic upkeep on the building and on the tenants! Sometimes things don’t get fixed for a long time.

    Former Tenant

    Super and landlord are not responsive
