Former tenant·10 months ago

No Complaints and Would Recommend

Pros

Responsive landlord, management, and super. Building is well-maintained, and rent is very reasonable.

Cons

Units can get a little warm in the winter due to lack of thermostat in units.

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

Ok but not great

Pros

Elevator, laundry in the building. Decent space for a studio. Great natural light and good windows.

Cons

Pest problem. I've dealt with cockroaches several times in my studio. The walls are incredible thin. I can hear everything, even when my neighbors sneeze. Packages have been stolen in the lobby. Management doesn't do anything about it. Bathroom/kitchen needs to be renovated (at least my studio does). You can't control the heat in the winter so it is normally too hot in the apartment and I have to open a window. On top of all of this - they increased my rent 38% in the summer of 2022 with no negotiation.

Advice to the owners

Not sure what can be done about the thin walls but consider renovating some of the units (especially the bathrooms) and fumigate.
