Decent building, dirty hallways
Pros
- Apartment was relatively clean when we moved in - The apartment had been recently renovated - The super was quick to respond although repairs took a while
Cons
- Hallways were rarely cleaned - Very noisy - while the super was quick to respond to requests, any repair took a very long time - incredibly noisy radiators
Advice to the owners
Better upkeep on the building hallways
What you see isn’t what you get.
Pros
The neighborhood/location is amazing. You can find other creatives in the area, lots of food options, bars and restaurants, schools and close walks to the train.
Cons
These apartments are unlivable. Management covers up the damage by putting pretty bandages that last 6 months to a year. You can never get a hold of them, the super is an older guy who can’t fix things and doesn’t show up, there’s a SERIOUS Mold issue and pests problem in building. The hallway is falling apart. Building is leaning and has no heat or hot water. They just replaced the intercom system but now visitor’s calls go to our phone … if we have service which is terrible in the building. Some apartments have missing ceilings and walls, as well as a bad leak through out the building you can see in the hallways.
Advice to the owners
I suggest you not only buy property but also take care of it. Check the integrity of the property and yours as well.
