Pretty good building
Pros
The building is nice and the apartments are reasonably sized for the price with good aesthetic choices in lighting fixtures and exposed brick
Cons
The dryer in the basement doesn’t really work you have to dry like 3 times. Also there’s only one washer and dryer for the whole building so you’ll be fighting over it
Advice to the owners
replace the dryer and buy another pair. Or just make them free
Pretty adequate situation going on
Pros
Maintenance is pretty quick to respond (if you pester them) You can pay rent through an app—just be sure to use your bank and not a card to pay or the inconvenience fees are steep (upwards of $70) Pet friendly! Access code to building and access code to apartment — no forgetting your keys. Laundry machines in building (paid via app)
Cons
The stairway isn’t clean and often smells Two bedrooms have great light but the third doesn’t and there is no window in the living room/kitchen area Tried to stack fees onto us but proved they had no grounds to do so. Wouldn’t be surprised if they tried to do it again Pessy is VERY difficult to communicate with. She is rude to everyone, and argumentative. Keep a record of all interactions with this woman as you will often need to prove yourself. While maintenance is quick, jobs often need repeating. The washer and dryer were broken for months before we finally got them replaced. Heat is uneven across the apartment. The windows condense and mold.
Advice to the owners
Discuss treatment of tenants with Pessy.
