Amazing building and managment

Pros

I love how clean the building is. The super takes out the trash multiple times a day and it is super quiet all of the time. It’s a great building and whenever you need anything the management company is super responsive and resolves the issue immediately

Cons

Only issue I’ve had is that someone in the building had bed bugs. I saw one in my apartment and though we had an infestation but turns out it was someone else in the building. I’m not sure if it was resolved but in total I have seen 4 bedbugs in my time living there and it’s not a nice experience. Really really wished that was resolved instead of hoping that we didn’t have an infestation. We never did but still. Definitely an issue
