Not perfect but still good
Pros
Recently did renovations so the front entrance and lobby/halls look WAY nicer than it did when we moved in. Renovated kitchen. On the park and by 2 trains so IDEAL location. A 1 bedroom has plenty of space.
Cons
The radiators are BLASTED all winter and spring and it gets so hot we always have the windows open. Even on days when it gets warmer they won’t turn it off (tenants have no control). We had mice and cockroaches our 3rd year. The exterminator gave us sticky traps and the super filled one hole in the radiator, but we improved the situation mostly by our own means. The squeakiest wooden floors known to man. Big smokers in the building that smoke in the hall.
Advice to the owners
Communication with issues in the building should be communicated. The office should be easier to contact-it’s open at strange hours and closed on Wednesdays? Also, need better management on the heat in the boiler room.
Nice apartment, gross building, regular package thievery. Non responsive mgmt.
Pros
A couple units are new and renovated which is very nice.
Cons
The stairwell is always disgusting. It took management about 3 months to fix a shattered, hazardous broken window in the stairwell. Neighbors are nice but smoke cigarettes and weed in the hallways. Also packages get stolen regularly, and management refuses to check video footage.
Advice to the owners
Do what you need to do to make your super responsive. The stairwells are decrepit and disgusting, long overdue for a repainting, several steps have dangerous chips in them, etc. Smoke alarms in the hallways or stairwells is needed since tenants smoke cigarettes regularly indoors, despite it being illegal.
