3rd year and little to no complaints
Pros
Everything. At this price range you hear so many horror stories but it’s been very pleasant living here. Sometimes repairs take a bit but they rarely are ever needed. Once or twice in 3 years.
Cons
Really no complaints
Advice to the owners
Raise the rent in smaller increments please lol
OK Apts suffer from poor mgmt
Pros
Affordable / moderately priced for area. Well located in good neighborhood on tree lined street w a park and conveniently located to transportation. Apartments are better laid out than most tenements in neighborhood and have fair amount of light & windows. Elevator in building! Responsive and live in Superintendent is pleasant to deal with.
Cons
Building agent (Frank McCartin) can be antagonistic, homophobic and often outright hostile to tenants and fails to respond or address maintenance issues. Building owner/administrators never acknowledge issues, are surly and litigious, and treat tenants poorly. Walls are thin and you'll hear everything your neighbors do. Poor water pressure makes showering often difficult. Hot water complaints go unanswered yet seem to eventually fix themselves . Construction work by contractors lacks professional quality, seems like no one cares about doing a good job. Building just looking to do bare minimum to get by. I know of several tenants who'd had to report issues to the city and often still not resolved according to the online reports.
Advice to the owners
Treat tenants like you'd wished to be treated yourself if you lived here. Respond and fix issues reported in a timely manner.
