Not bad but the corner is really problematic
Pros
nice people; good location
Cons
The corner is terrible - it is near the largest men's homeless shelter in the city and there are many sad, sick, people including a man who sleeps on the corner and many men who pee on the sidewalk in plain view. There has occassionally been violence - 2 people have been killed in the time we have lived there and a super was attacked. The management has responded by fully staffing the lobby but the problem is there are no services available and the police are absent. As for the builing, there are no blinds or curtain rods on the floor to ceiling windows so you'll have to install them yourself and this is not cheap (about $500 per room at least). There are also no overhead lights. The heat is not set up to work below a certain point so we did not have heat for many weeks this winter - they gave us space heaters but they overwhelmed the circuit - so in the dark in the cold - the amenties are sparce but expensive - basically laundry and some green space and a small business office. Finally the building is D rated for energy efficiency - the electric bills are very very high.
Advice to the owners
please take care of the elevators - it is annoying when they are always breaking - deal with the heat and think about installing window treatments to help with the heating bills.
