261 Gates Avenue
Pros
Building is kept clean, haven’t had any problems with mail or packages, Amazon locker in lobby, trash is neatly maintained.
Cons
LOUD heating (radiator/steam pipes), barking dogs, some tenant noise, have had a few small cockroaches, but monthly exterminator sprays definitely have reduced this.

Great units, great location, paper-thin walls
Pros
Wonderful location, great old-school apartment feel, very friendly and responsive Super and Landlord. Packages could be left inside behind locked doors. Generally friendly neighbors.
Cons
You could hear someone in the next unit if they sneeze loud enough. If you are sensitive to noise, or like to have loud gatherings, stay away from this spot.
Advice to the owners
Clean the place up quite a bit, repaint the halls, and please soundproof the units when they turn over.
