Buildings are generally clean and well-maintained, with effective garbage handling and regular pest control reducing issues. Heating functions well but can be noisy due to old radiators.

Reviews

Former tenant·4 minutes ago

261 Gates Avenue

Pros

Building is kept clean, haven’t had any problems with mail or packages, Amazon locker in lobby, trash is neatly maintained.

Cons

LOUD heating (radiator/steam pipes), barking dogs, some tenant noise, have had a few small cockroaches, but monthly exterminator sprays definitely have reduced this.

Former tenant·Over 3 years ago

Great units, great location, paper-thin walls

Pros

Wonderful location, great old-school apartment feel, very friendly and responsive Super and Landlord. Packages could be left inside behind locked doors. Generally friendly neighbors.

Cons

You could hear someone in the next unit if they sneeze loud enough. If you are sensitive to noise, or like to have loud gatherings, stay away from this spot.

Advice to the owners

Clean the place up quite a bit, repaint the halls, and please soundproof the units when they turn over.
