Decent building in a great neighborhood
Pros
Location! The super is a wonderful man and generally responsive. Room layouts are decent and neighbors are so kind.
Cons
Repairs generally favor the quick fix versus the lasting fix, and the building is really old. Management can be a little prickly.
Advice to the owners
Care a little bit more about the people you’re getting rich off of, not super novel.
You get what you pay for
Pros
-location! Nearby 2/3 and B/C trains -high ceilings -adequate laundry room (4 washers 4 dryers) -pet friendly! Thankfully i dont live by the dogs who bark every time they hear someone pass by outside the door -one of the tenants always hangs out at the intersection in front of the building and always plays music, greets everyone with a smile and occasionally starts a conversation! He will brighten up your day, he’s everyones best friend! -good water pressure -area is relatively safe. There’s a school next door
Cons
-whole building is dark, run down, and dirty. Occasionally see dog poop on the hallway floor by my unit and sometimes itll be there for a few days -theres only 1 super and he ONLY speaks spanish. He’s very nice and always greets tenants with a smile. im able to get by with the little spanish i know, but i see a lot of non-spanish speaking tenants that are unable to communicate their concerns due to the language barrier. How will their issues get fixed? -mail “room” is out in the open right by the entrance. Ive gotten my package stolen once, but i could see how easy it is for people to just quickly snag something and go - walls are pretty paper thin. My upstairs neighbor likes to drop heavy things throughout all times of the day and night -the one elevator is super slow -
