Poorly maintained building, redeemed by neighbors
Pros
Back of house units are quiet and mostly free of street noise; neighbors are largely communicative and helpful; relatively affordable rent for area
Cons
Terrible insulation so heat bills are through the roof, it gets incredibly hot in the summer, and you can hear everything in surrounding units; uneven floors; centipede infestation on first floor, rodents and roaches on upper floors; hallways are rarely cleaned; super is rarely responsive despite the listing indicating a "live-in super" (he does not live on the premises); bad water pressure; tenants responsible for heating their own water
definitely a compromise
Pros
size and price
Cons
pest control, unresponsive maintenance
