Good apartment for family
Pros
Good space, cleanish, responsive super and nice appliances
Cons
Some pests, and kids playing in lobby.
Kind of a mess but nice neighbors
Pros
It's on the corner of a relatively quiet neighborhood. The other tenants in the building are nice and respectful, and some have lived here for decades. My apartment is relatively spacious and has relatively new floors. Pet friendly.
Cons
The building is rated "D" for heat efficiency. The elevator has broken down (aka stopped) at least 5 times this year. The lock on the front door of the building continually has mechanical issues and multiple tenants including myself have had keys that get stuck in the lock. In addition there was a period of 2 months when the lock was completely removed, so anyone off the street could just walk into our building. I've had 3 packages stolen from the lobby/mailroom and had to open a P.O. Box at the nearest post office to secure my packages. The roach issue is bad, and although the building has pest control this person won't spray your individual apartment *unless you take initiative and call to set up monthly sprays. This information is not relayed to you and you have to figure it out by yourself.
