Laundry in the building
Elevators
Quiet-ish neighbors

Elevators will stop working and take a while to get fixed
Poor building maintenance. Lobby looks and feels gross
Not very responsive. I’ve submitted multiple tickets and no one has contacted me
Many pests in my unit and in the lobby as well

Please take better care of the building. The constant bugs are gross and please be responsive to tickets

10 minute walk to the train

Neighbors are loud

- marble granite counters
- appliances are good, not top notch
- new look feel
- close to the F and E trains

- new management not great
- selection of neighbors
- there is a roach problem, when there wasn't one prior (I moved to the building in 2020 and roaches became a thing in 2023)
- walls are thin, so you can hear neighbors above and in the hallway
- dog haven (barks for days)

Listen to your tenants and have a better candidate selection process. The new tenants coming in are uneducated, rude, and compliments of housing development projects.

Everything is new and stainless steel. There is a bike room, laundry room and even a small gym which is useful.

The super isn’t very responsible depending on the issue. It’s a bit in the middle of nowhere and parking can be a little difficult.

I like the area, the neighborhood and the laundry room.

The elevator is always broken. There’s roaches.

Pest control

Off street parking.

Building needs to be upgraded.

Upgrade your building.

Long term tenants that are amazing.
Pet friendly
Relatively chill

PEOPLE DONT PICK UP AFTER THEIR DOGS.
Off leash dogs.
False complaints - someone complained we smoke cigarettes in the apt but we don’t smoke cigarettes.

Implement a fine for tenants that are irresponsible dog owners! I have stepped on too much dog shit and have had to battle other dogs that are not leashed. Both of these things are dangerous for other tenants and dogs, as well as unsanitary.

None that make it worth living here

Constant roach infestation
Constant noise issues
Elevator always breaking down
Constant issues with the washroom
Overpriced for what you get

Actually fix the root of your issues and charge fairly.

It’s an old building more spacious than other buildings in my search, the tenants moving in are younger single and younger families. Exterminator comes on the regular

There seems to be a major issue with ventilation-there isn’t any…there are small grates above the ovens which worked once upon a time but they don’t suck the air out they just leak odors into the hallway. So you end up smelling everyone’s cooking

Upgrades needed in sealing apartment from other

Clean. Friendly people in the building. Building manager and supers were friendly. Mostly responsive to requests

Mice. Sometimes took a bit to respond to requests/had to request multiple times. Did not make extra efforts to clean during covid and did not offer any relief to tenants. Packages consistently stolen and management did absolutely nothing about it but take down the notes residents posted indicating they no longer wanted packages left there.

Figure out the mice

In building laundry

Constant roach problem, garbage odor, no way to control heat (bill gets ridiculously high), poor ventilation, over priced, nobody wears mask in common areas, and the landlord became aggressive about rent being due during covid

Stop over charging for a building you put no work on to maintain!

Brand new building

No attention paid on damages and details.

People leave clothes inside laundry machines unattended for hours.

already damaged ceiling tiles at laundry room.

Lobby walls and corridors with scratches and could be taken care right away

Pay attention to your building and help your tenants maintain the happiness. I understand that managing this big property may be difficult but better things can be done.

I do recommend this building to friends because the building is perfect. the problem is the way is been taken care.

all modern appliances, security guard at night, big windows

inconsistencies in all the units (some don’t have ceiling lights, one heater works in one part of the apt, where it doesn’t in the other, carbon monoxide alarm always going off every single time i cook, pipes are broken so it smells like shit in my bathroom all the time)

lower the rent for the quality you provide.

I do not have any pros for this building I am very disappointed with everything with management

This is a new building, there are so many problems in this building, the bathroom has sewage smell, When it is raining your roof will start leaking, There is electricity wiring problems You keep losing electricity. There are too many problems for a new building No one would actually come and fix the issue or repair. They will definitely respond but not initiate to come and fix the problem and if they do it is always partially done and you have to keep following up over and over for the same thing for months. It Takes them over one month to fix one issue in the apartment and that also it is not properly done.

You collect so much rent from the tenants but the service is not properly provided for the amount of rent we are paying for this building or apartment. Also the people in the management office every time we call they sound like they are sleeping and they are very unhelpful and rude
