    Does The Job
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Our specific unit was updated. Had it's flaws, but definitely worked for us. In-building laundry. Quiet.
    Cons:
    Basement where laundry is located is pretty scary. The stairs are a bit hazardous and not kept clean (tons of dust and debris). Heating is way too hot, so we keep ours off completely in the winter months. Owner/landlord relatively unresponsive.

    Heavily Neglected Building with Decent Apartments
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Most apartments are renovated with IKEA and decent stainless appliances
    The building is on a quiet residential street
    Cons:
    The common areas are completely neglected
    The landlord is not responsive to repairs, so many things in the building don’t work or are in complete disrepair
    Advice to owner:
    Renovate the common areas
    Fix the things that don’t work in the apartments, including water pressure
    Renovate the basement into usable space
    Add a modern intercom system
    This will help with tenant retention
