Apartment building review

Pros

I love that there is laundry on site and a trash room on every floor. I live in a corner unit, so i get a lot of natural light. People are friendly too when you see them on the elevator or in common spaces.

Cons

My neighbors have a dog who barks 24/7 at any hour of the day and I’ve reported it and nothing has changed. Packages also tend to get stolen out of the package room.

Advice to the owners

Monitor the package room better.
