Above Average Overall
Pros
Decent price, new appliances, usually quiet at night
Cons
Small unit with little natural light, no closets, far from subway stations, lot of rats in front of building
Not too bad
Pros
Good super, kept things clean in common spaces. We had a ground floor apartment facing the street and we didn’t have many pests. I would recommend this building. Good location, never ran out of hot water, walls and floors weren’t as thin as other apartments I’ve lived in. Building management took issues seriously.
Cons
We lived next to the building’s front door. It was very, very loud. Constantly broke and the staff kept jerryrigging it instead of just replacing it and putting a slow close mechanism on it. Laundry was frequently broken. But, all things considered, at least building management made efforts to fix these things. Rent increases occurred every year, but they were never massive. If you find an apartment you like here, it’s safe to move in.
Advice to the owners
Openigloo made me write this to see reviews. We moved out a while ago. So maybe this isn’t an issue anymore. But if it is, just replace the front door. It just cannot be that expensive relative to the building’s revenue.
