Could be worse
Pros
Functional building on a quiet street. Down the block from a beautiful community garden
Cons
Debris from the facade is all over the yard. We dealt with a mouse problem on and off over the course of a year. Good luck getting the landlord to fix anything. He’ll ignore your messages for weeks and then call you at a random time of the day and accuse you of never answering your phone. Upstairs neighbors kept moving furniture in the middle of the night? Weird and annoying
Advice to the owners
Answer your phone!
Nice street. Okay enough building .
Pros
The heat works really well. Overall the apartment is mostly functional albeit small
Cons
The apartment itself is very small, and (if you’re in the basement), the windows face brick walls. We had a recurring mouse problem for multiple years. Landlord is very absent and hard to get ahold of when you need to reach him, but on the rare occasion he reaches out to you, everything is rushed and urgent. Cabinets are falling apart. It’s also the least attractive building on the street, because there hasn’t been much maintenance and the area where you could have a garden is trashed.
