Could be better

Pros

For the most part everyone in this building is friendly.

Cons

It may take a while to get things fixed here whether it’s an issue in your apartment or with the building. If elevator is messed up, it takes about 3 whole days until it’s fixed. Packages get here sometimes.

Advice to the owners

Please tend faster to the faulty elevator and intercom please. It’s not fair to those who live on the top floors.

Don’t move here

Pros

Nothing, this place sucks.

Cons

Neighbors are inconsiderate, the super doesn’t help at all. I don’t know how he even got the job. The intercom works once every 5 months.

Advice to the owners

Get a new super and start taking in consideration of people living here that deal with noise complaints!
