Pros

The building, while old, is beautiful. Has great character, in building laundry, and roof access. Unit was great! Had character and is a little small, but very livable. Location is also incredible.

Cons

Could be better maintained. Hallways get a bit dirty. Experienced several leaks, though all were fixed quickly by management. Laundry power went out occasionally.

Answer

Has there been any rats/pests/roaches problems? Or has management dealt with them properly?

Over 2 years ago

When I lived there in 2021, there was a few roach infestations, but management would send someone to spray pretty soon after flagging. The rats outside are a bit busy, but never had a rat issue in the building!
