Could B e Great, Isn't.
Pros
Old school building, so large windows, really high ceilings and each apartment has a storage space. There is a backyard (kinda) and roof access (kinda). Laundry in the building. There is a 'security desk'. Apartments decent sized. Hardwood floors.
Cons
Very dirty. The laundry room is wet and dirty all the time. The hallways are rarely mopped and the stairwells almost never cleared. The building needs facade work, windows haven't been cleaned since I got here and has a serious pest issue. There are often dead roaches left to rot in the hallwas. The one con that isn't the buildings fault, is that it is next to a huge project complex, so the street is very loud.
Advice to the owners
If the building were in better shape, if the management cared at all about the state of the it, it could balance out the street.
Spacious and bright but dirty
Pros
Apartments are spacious for the price and location, with very large windows. Neighbors are respectful.
Cons
Common areas are so filthy! Food scraps and dead cockroaches lying around in hallways, elevators, and staircases for months! Also the laundry machines are often broken and it often gets too hot or too cold in winter
Advice to the owners
Stop adding ugly furniture to the lobby and instead clean the common areas better.
