Beware of slumlord
Pros
Quiet building, good natural light, can get a solid deal on an apartment. I lived here for 2 years.
Cons
-There is sewage flooding in the basement that was never fully fixed. The basement apartments are illegal based on warrant of habitability laws because they were never professionally cleaned after sewage flooding. Highly advise against renting one of the ground floor/basement apartments. -Also advise against doing laundry in the basement due to the history of sewage flooding. -Front door was broken for weeks at a time, no urgency over fixing broken locks in general. -The landlord is really annoying to get in touch with and will gaslight you and lie to you to avoid doing needed repairs. Need to call him like 3+ times in order to make anything happen. -Never sent a true professional to make repairs. Always some underpaid handyman who doesn’t really know what he’s doing and always fixes things poorly. -Packages stolen several times with 0 help or concern from the landlord.
Advice to the owners
The place is actively falling apart, and repeated failures to maintain it only hurt the long term value of the building.
