Building Management Conditions
Pros
Neighborhood and Neighbors are friendly. The building is generally quiet.
Cons
The heat during the winter is inconsistent and sometimes non existent. It has been very cold here for the past few winters. There are constant plumbing issues, pipes are breaking down and water is shut off without any warning at a moment's notice. There has been an ongoing problem with mice and cockroaches. Although they supply four washers & threedryersfor a building of 83 apartments They take absolutely no response stability for maintaining the cleanliness in the laundry room or the breaking down of the units.And they are constantly breaking down. It's up to the tenants to call for repairs. The buzzer system is also constantly breaking. It's only an audio system with auto any cameras, so we can never see who is coming to the door. We do not have a bicycle room even though there's plenty of room in the basement.And we have requested it. We also do not have a male package room.So our packages are constantly being stolen. There are clearly many problems in this building. Our hour rents average, an increase of 9%-10% ten percent each year and we are only allowed a yearly lease. Yet with each increase, there are no services provided.
Advice to the owners
Your tenants are collectively very angry at the treatment we receive. We are blamed for all the problems in the building. You are also blaming our super. You take absolutely zero responsibility for our health and well being. The response time to our issues are slow or just completely ignored. There are many ways to better our environment.But you refuse to address any of our concerns. Our only alternative is to call 311 to file our complaints. You leave us with no other option.
Quiet building with friendly renters and staff
Pros
The building is very quiet, I rarely ever hear neighbors from my apartment. Close to transit options. The building is generally kept clean and I have never had any rodent issues in my unit (although occasionally will see mice in the basement). The staff and tenants in this building are all generally friendly and the staff knows each tenant.
Cons
Maintenance can be a little slow, I’ve had to text the super multiple times to get something fixed. The ownership is almost non-contactable when it comes to negotiating rent renewals. I’ve had several issues with the washers and dryers in the laundry room having card errors or ruining clothes with dark marks.
Advice to the owners
Be more accessible and improve process to get repairs addressed.
