Pros
I love the convenience of this location, very close to the M and L trains. The building itself hold promise and I moved in based on that my unit has a very small outdoor patio.
Cons
The neighbors use a small courtyard between the front and back buildings to store all kinds of crap including a boat???This area could be lovely and there are children that play in the courtyard among the trash which is just really depressing. Strollers are also allowed to clutter the hallway that we need to pass through with bicycles. The Superintendent doesn’t seem to do anything besides take out the trash as far as cleanliness upkeep or tenant management. The trash area has a constant pile of unwanted items that just never really completely diminishes though some items are taken out with the trash. The hallways have NEVER been swept and are absolutely filthy with dust dog hair and debris. It takes months of pestering to get any maintenance requests done and management is generally unresponsive. THERE IS A MAIL THEFT ISSUE that the management refuses to address despite having cameras (that likely don’t work) in the main entrance area where Mail is left. They won’t even put up a sign of warning. I hate this building and I’m paying too much.
Advice to the owners
Get your superintendent to talk to the tenants storing junk in the courtyard. Put up signage threatening the pursue legal action against mail theft. Act like you give a shit? Offer a contact lift for your tenants for various issues. I have no idea who my super even is.
