MICE AND ROACHES
Pros
Rent was cheaper than usual. Large apartment with natural light. Near L'Industrie and subway lines.
Cons
I couldn't use my kitchen because it was infested with roaches, with no end in sight. Even with an exterminator coming every month, it was still a problem. There are also mice that live in the walls, and the first week of moving in, 3 mice entered my apartment. The pipes are LOUD, and I had to sleep in a smaller room. My landlord wouldn't return my security deposit until I threatened to sue. One month the boiler stopped working, and we had no heat the whole time.
Disappointing year in this building
Pros
Great location, nice lobby, no noise issues despite being on busy street. The gentleman who came to do repairs was lovely.
Cons
I hated living here. There was a pest issue the entire time I lived here which was extremely distressing and affected my quality of life. The management was not responsive nor concerned. Even after routine exterminator visits, it persisted. There was a portal to submit mgmt requests, but they were not responded to in a timely way and I would have to call the office repeatedly. Multiple leaks resulted in my cabinets being replaced 2x in a year. I couldn't wait to move out.
