Love this building
Pros
The building is quiet and clean. The super is so friendly and responsive and takes amazing care of the building. You’ll often see him outside or in the lobby cleaning up and taking care of things. Truly, he is one of the reasons this is such a great place to live. The building always feels safe - to my knowledge there have been no issues. We’ve been here for a couple years and hope to stay for many more. We also appreciate that we can pay rent online. We were able to renew our lease in the mail.
Cons
The subway tracks are a bit noisy in north facing units, but the windows face them, so that shouldn’t be a surprise to anybody moving in. The north facing units are also a bit dark, especially in winter. The landlord was not willing to renegotiate rent at the time of lease renewal during the pandemic and actually raised ours a bit. At the start of the lease, we had to go sign in the offices which required me to take time off work. The building manager generally does not respond for days, if at all. This is incredibly frustrating when things come up that the super cannot help us with.
Advice to the owners
Our super is amazing and makes the building a wonderful place to live. He deserves a raise and a bonus — he is working on taking care of this place nonstop.
