Buyer/Prospective Tenant Be VERY Aware
Pros
They painted the lobby and the building location close to two train stations is great.
Cons
Super is not up to task and hates being bothered "after work hours" or weekends but is a LIVE IN SUPER just for the possibility of after hours problems. . Porter is property agent's husband and rarely cleans but does complain about having to do it. Elevator is out of service all the time. We're getting new laundry (to attract new tenants/owners. Otherwise, the dryers burn your clothes and the basement is just plain scary to be in. The roof is leaky and not in great condition if we keep getting leaks year round because of it (according to Super). Leaks, mold, lead paint; not sure why the bedbug report says zero because i can see at least 5 apartments that STILL have them. We have incessant mice and roaches. The floors are terrible and bathroom leak. We have no fire exit signs, lights in staircases, fire extinguishers or any security in case we have another fire. Oh, yes, there was a DEADLY fire here in December 2025 and landlord has yet to care. Check building violations...
