Building is fine except for the roaches
Pros
Nice neighborhood, stairways get cleaned regularly, laundry in basement, spacious apartments
Cons
The apartment is infested with roaches, I’ve been seeing them on and off all year.
Advice to the owners
Roaches can’t just be fixed with one-off traps, this is a building wide problem that needs a more thorough solution.
Small issues but not a bad place to live
Pros
- location is great, very central in Prospect Heights (close to the park, close to many train lines, close to tons of cafes/restaurants/bars) - nice to have a rooftop and a backyard (both are not really maintained, but in decent enough shape you could hang out) - pretty quiet street, neighboring buildings are all pretty quiet as well - building maintenance is good, very responsive and helpful
Cons
- no designated or secure spot for packages and there was a lot of packages being stolen for a period of time with management not really doing anything about it - building hallways/entryway area is not in the best shape (water damage with parts of the wall plaster coming off, hallway lights very dim or broken)
