Location is prime
Pros
Walking distance from everything you need. The super takes good care of the building/trash management. Respectful neighbors. Zoned to a great school. Good pest control.
Cons
Small/ slowest elevator. Only way to get to the basement/laundry is by elevator. Only 4 washer and dryers for the entire building- one washer is often out of order. Management is not quick to respond. My unit does not get adequate heating in the winter/ no dishwasher. No in-unit washer/dryer allowed. Street parking is a nightmare.
Advice to the owners
Rent is too high to be living like it’s the 1950’s.
2 years living here and thinking of leaving
Pros
-The super is very kind and responsive. -Spacious apartments. -Plants look nice outside during the spring and summer.
Cons
-Slowest elevator ever. -Management is slow to respond to repairs and other issues but quick to increase rent (by a lot). -Very cold in the apartment during the winter months (insufficient heating). -Pipes are very old. Frequently get yellow-ish water coming out of the sink/tub faucets. -Wooden floors are loud and creaky. I can hear the neighbors walk upstairs and next door even with rugs. -Windows are difficult to open and close. -Laundry room has 4 washers and 4 dryers which are often in use when needed.
Advice to the owners
Provide better heating in the winter, needs better management, and rent increases are unreasonable
