Clean and chill
Pros
The super does a great job of maintaining the building. He comes a few times a week to do the trash and recycling, so it's not overflowing and it doesn't smell that much compared to other building I've walked by. He comes in and cleans pretty frequently and the outdoor space is well maintained. Very close to public transit, coffee shops, and grocery stores. Honestly really great location - even if it is kind of a busy street sometimes. The shared outdoor space is also well maintained, although I'm not sure many tenants use it.
Cons
There's only one washer/dryer for the whole building, which isn't an issue normally as it seems everyone in the building has a set schedule for washing/drying They did have a water heater burst a few months ago, which flooded the basement a bit, and no one came to check it out for a few days. It was a holiday weekend, but still, we need to access the basement for the washing machine. Some tenants are VERY loud when going and up and down the stairs. The shower drain gets pretty clogged, and you can't get a snake in there because of the type of drain cover they have. I use a plunger, but still annoying. Tiny kitchen - but I've see tinier
Advice to the owners
Quicker response to maintenance requests would be nice.
Too expensive for what it is
Pros
Good location, close to trains
Cons
Dirty. Roaches inside and rats outside. The heating sucks. The apartment is drafty
