Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

Restaurant makes it smelly, very loud street noise

Pros

Lots of neighbors have been here for decades. Historic building. Cigarette smoke not allowed.

Cons

TONS of sirens and honking and car alarms. Restaurant noisy and busy. Cooking odors can get intense.. No bike racks. Management ignores repeated requests. 6 front steps are very steep with a lip on the front of each. Very hard to get anything with wheels up them. Some mice, windows hard to open, elevator and front door often broken.

Advice to the owners

Bike rack. Replace steep front steps or add a ramp. Make restaurant install better odor control.
