Lived in this building for many years
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great location, recently added amenities (washer/dryer in basement + storage lockers). Nice backyard if you live on 1st floor. Owner / management was very responsive for the few issues we've had.
Cons:
The radiators don't heat the 1st floor very evenly likely due to bad window insulation in the back of the building. The back rooms required space heaters during the winter.
Advice to owner:
Improve the insulation / heating in the back of the building.
