Proceed With Caution
Pros
Big apartment, good light
Cons
Terrible neighbors, constant smoking in hallways and apartments. Needed two air purifiers just to get through my lease. Had cockroaches , three of them, put in a work order no one came to spray. Neighbors got subwoofer at one point. Leak in ceiling for months when it rained, never got fixed. Super is over worked with run down stuff to deal with. Tenants are unbearable. Not worth living in big apartment to be here. Avoid this building. Not too much decency. Super tries to keep place clean and tidy, but smoking is not stop issue.
Advice to the owners
Deal with issues quicker and kick out tenants that don’t abide by basic decency.
Cheap renovations and incompetent management
Pros
Renovated apartment - Heating and cooling is good - Finishing is good - New gym and office area is nice - FOB into building nice
Cons
- Laundry room can be locked but is left propped open. Some random person wandered into the building and stole our laundry (caught on camera) but no changes were made. - Rats scampering in ceilings - No smoking policy not enforced sufficiently, common areas and ventilation stinks - No ventilation in the hallways, weird smells - Occasional cockroaches - Elevator out of service sometimes (around 6 times past half year) - People don't clean up after themselves at the gym - Super lies about when they're going to come over/come back if you don't follow up with them
Advice to the owners
Act on tenant requests, especially smoking and ventilation violations
