decent no frills apartment experience
Pros
extremely close to A/C/E/L lines, relatively little street noise heard
Cons
garbage disposal located in the basement of the building was awful, little to no amenities, and the front entrance to the building was often occupied by unhoused people.
Leak in Roof / Scaffolding Forever
Pros
Super was easy to contact for maintenance issues.
Cons
The roof had a leak that cause a hole to form in the ceiling and drip when it rained. This leak was directly above the door buzzer, which broke repeatedly due to water damage. Instead of making real repairs, they would replace the buzzer and paint over the leak (which obviously just came back with the next rainfall). The building also had scaffolding up for the entirety of my lease term and no end in sight for the removal of the scaffolding. The trash is in the basement and they definitely had a pest issue in that area.
Advice to the owners
Make the necessary repairs to actually fix the problem, not cover it.
