    Pros:
    Neighbors, location, natural sunlight.

    Water heat is inconsistent, management tend to make minimal improvements on big issues, communication about repairs (like water shut-offs) can be spotty.

    Older building, lackluster management but reasonable upkeep
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Good location
    The elevator works well
    Weekly mopping of floors
    Laundry on every floor
    Cons:
    Stairwell is very unclean
    Roaches often seen in hallways and lobby
    Can be hard to contact super or management, multiple requests have to be submitted before work is completed (if it ever is)
    Advice to owner:
    Create a way for tenants to contact the super or make maintenance requests when the management office is closed
