Great first apartment
Pros
Beautiful building, living in super, extremely close to A Utica stop, pets allowed, beautiful tree-filled neighborhood.
Cons
Small pests, unresponsive owner, slow super.
Advice to the owners
Be more responsive
Pretty but bad quality of life
Pros
The inside of the apartment is nice looking. Tasteful finishes.
Cons
The noise level from the radiators and banging pipes / water hammer is unlivable. The building is not managed well. They make no attempt to fix large issues. Our bathroom ceiling fell down due to a leak and the leak was not repaired, only dry wall. It will continue to be a problem. Hostile attitude from management. Noisy upstairs neighbors. Can hear everything they do. Laundry room is always dirty. The water is scalding hot, heat is always turned up too high.
Advice to the owners
Take a more collaborative approach to working tenants and fixing issues rather than combative.
