Former tenant·6 months ago

Perfectly fine building

Pros

Well priced, decent units, convenient parking in the area, management company is mostly responsive, though I haven’t had many issues and avoid contacting them when possible.

Cons

The bedrooms face the street which is very noisy (fire trucks and police cars from nearby stations, and ice cream trucks across the street at the park), it’s definitely an old building with old fixtures - some people have had problems with leaks that were fixed.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Pros

Proximity to many trains, grocery store and pharmacy down the block, good restaurants closeby.

Cons

This property is hands-down unsafe. The smoke shop next door stays open until 3AM and attracts all sorts of aggressive individuals. Neighbors and I have been harassed multiple times despite the fact that the flood lights they've installed stay on at all hours. The landlord doesn't respond to communication, including important lease conversations and pest control management, for weeks on end. The building is falling apart and the back yard is in infested with ticks, feral cats, rats and swarms of mosquitos in the summer due to the junk yard of plastic buckets and old equipment that hold water -- this shouldn't be a selling point when it's in such terrible shape.

Advice to the owners

Don't leave messages unattended for weeks on end. This is unprofessional and inappropriate.
