Okay place to live.
Pros
Building is often clean, super or subcontractors keep the walls patched when neighbors and movers mess up the walls. Adequate heating, and now adequate hot water during all times of the day. Management is very responsive and this small piece of the neighborhood is good with the back of the school being across the street.
Cons
Lack of hot water during prime hours it was a issue for years but they recently fixed this issue to the point where boiling water was practically coming out of the taps while dangerous for kids, it helped to keep the hot water for longer and allowed for an actual hot shower. And Noisy, with shared alley ways parties on the block, and often loud neighbors. Not the ideal place for someone who wants peace and quiet.
It is better than most places
Pros
The building management sometimes makes mistakes when it comes to recording rental payments but they are fixed fairly quickly. The building is mostly clean, no there have been issues in the past with pests. Happy to say that management they take that seriously.
Cons
The heat situation can be a hit or miss: too hot or nonexistent. The upstairs neighbor’s apartment reeks and sometimes makes the entire building reek. Management should address it. Rent is too high
Advice to the owners
Do rodent and pest prevention more often. Address smell issue Be more consistent with heat.
