Be careful with management
Pros
Loved the layout and light in the apartment
Cons
Management was frequently misleading, did not resolve serious issues in a timely manner, and clearly said contradicting things to different neighbors. There’s issues with the boiler and every year the heat turning on or off is a whole ordeal.
Advice to the owners
Empower your management to actually fix the issues of this building, especially the boiler.
nice apartment, awful management
Pros
Great location, natural light, closet space, nice layout, lovely neighbors, thick walls/floors for privacy
Cons
It's an old building that clearly has problems and management can be incredibly difficult about solving them. Heat/hot water was a recurring issue. It went out every couple of weeks, at least. Trash was also not managed well and and the "virtual doorman" frequently broke down. There were no major pest issues for most of our time there, although the number of roaches was increasing towards the end of our lease. The major issue was that management was unresponsive and unreliable. They regularly lied about maintenance issues and refused to offer lease renewals to tenants who complained about illegal conditions.
