A surprising sanctuary for the block and price
Pros
Jill is incredibly thoughtful and responsive, neighbors were all very nice and the bedroom was fantastically huge. Courtyard facing units like mine are also incredibly quiet for the neighborhood.
Cons
Kitchen is quite small and virtually no counter space meant little to no cooking.
Better than being homeless
Pros
The latest super (Jesus) does try to be responsive and fix things when asked… The rent is cheaper than the median rent in the area, but trust me you are getting less than you pay for.
Cons
BUT the entire building (especially the left side) is in such a state of decay and disrepair that it’s a wonder we’re allowed to live here. Both my next door neighbor and I have had portions of our ceiling fall in. I’ve been experiencing leaks every 2-6 weeks for 4 years. The water damage has never been properly fixed. The floorboards under my radiator are fully rotted from the radiator leaking, management has been informed of all of this and essentially does nothing. They never reply to emails. It’s impossible to get them on the phone. I even had another tenant harassing me and verbally threatening me because of their actions but they fully ignored both of us. Earlier this month someone fully broke the main entrance door and it was stuck open (anyone could access the building at any time) for days. You are never notified in advance if water or heat will be turned off for maintenance or emergency repair. And the boiler has no release valve so any time they run the heat and it isn’t brick there will be leaks throughout the building.
Advice to the owners
Maybe try caring about the human beings that live in this building?
