Laundry room, gym, friendly doormen, helpful super.

We had mice in our apartment. Neighbors are allowed to smoke cigarettes in their units and the ventilation system is so poor that we would smell smoke in our apartment. Building managers refused to do anything.

Get rid of the law allowing residents to smoke inside.

Doorman is there most of the time, rent is not too bad, love the roof

Management switches a lot and are hard to get in touch with, rooms get hot in shoulder seasons when they haven't switched the AC on,

Better communication with residents

Updated units and normally quiet. Stairwell is nice and clean

Super is not responsive you have to go through management multiple times to get anything fixed. Pest and rodent issues throughout the building

not very much tbh

hear a lot of footsteps at night, management is not helpful
management very slow to respond

be more proactive

I like how quiet it is for the most part compared to other parts of the city and it's a small yet comfortable place to live in

I really don't like the landlord Jeff. He's unresponsive and makes you pay for things when you ask for help.

We need a new landlord

- Beautiful landscaping
- Great Super
- Good Management
- Lovely neighbors
- Huge Apartments

- Slow Elevator
- Trash gets smelly and makes the elevator smell
- Temperature of apartments can be hard to control (I.e it gets too hot even in the winter)

Super is responsive and cleans the building weekly
New appliances
In unit laundry

Property management has a stick up their ass and sometimes unresponsive
Typical new build quality - thin walls and doors

Neighbors are nice, but one them is a heavy smoker and this is a smoke-friendly building, so you will smell smoke in the hallways and inside your apartment if you live on the 4th floor.

Management is terrible. We didn't have heat for 7-weeks during the winter. We'd call everyday. My bathroom vanity fell off and it took them months to replace it. If you do not call management everyday, do not expect any of your issues to be fixed. Treat living here like a part-time job because you are now employed at the call center to give daily calls to the property management company. Other things that were broken, and some that are still broken because we ran out of energy to continue calling include: broken dishwasher, door knobs that fell out of the door, bathroom door doesn't close, kitchen sink pipe pouring out water, shower that didn't drain, and 6in x 12in holes in the ceiling that they never covered after fixing the heat.

Great location and outdoor spaces are nice

Elevator breakers constantly and sometimes feels unsafe. Front door often breaks and heating also unreliable. One of two dryers has been broken for over a year.

Fix stuff when it breaks! We’re paying for it

- Water is included in rent

- Management extremely unresponsive - our heat was broken in the winter for several months and it took over 50+ calls to get the issue fully resolved
- Apartment is not well insulated - expect to hear people talking on the street and your neighbors watching TV
- Packages have sometimes been thrown away
- Neighbors smoke quite heavily so smoke smell will flow into the apartment
- Front door is broken so anyone can enter
- Rodent droppings were found in the apartment when we first moved in indicating a potential pest problem
- Windows are really poorly insulated (you can feel the wind from outside) - expect to pay a ton for utilities

Newly renovated apartments, responsive super, quiet neighbors

Small apartment, sometimes the pilot light for the building goes out, nice to have laundry in unit, but the laundry machine isn’t the best

Decent neighbors, good community feel, nice leafy neighborhood.

THIN floors/ceilings, some meddling old biddies

Great doorman, high ceilings, good subway access.

Several assessments recently due to infrastructure problems.

Close to Park
Good restaurants nearby
Good light in bedrooms

Never had a month where a minimum of two things weren't broken and constantly having to battle to get them fixed. When they are fixed it's a patch job. Leaking ceilings (gushing water), broken appliances, broken AC/heater, squirrel tenants, and a few fun times when the outside door wouldn't open from the inside. Good luck getting ahold of the super, if you do it's likely he won't show up. Communal hallways and stairwells only cleaned if an inspector is coming through. Otherwise always filthy and smells like trash.

In unit washer/dryer and washing machine
Good natural light

The property manager - Jeff Saliba - is awful and worth not moving in to the building for.
The apartments are tiny and advertised as a two bedroom so they can bump up the price but it's not accurate. Things break a lot and Jeff is never there to fix any of it. The only nice person is the EBMG representative

Fire Jeff Saliba and have a cleaning service for the stairs.

Updated building and technology

The staircase is very narrow

N/a

Super sweet staff. The doormen and super are more than willing to help with your needs.

Old heating — hard to be comfortable in the winter; you’re either freezing or burning hot.

Good location, great access to Riverside park and bars/restaurants up on Broadway.

Radiators can be loud as hell when they’re running

Its mostly coop owned so the residents take good care of the building though its older. Theres a responsive super on site and small laundry room. Theres a cage locker for packages which is a huge plus. People stay to themselves but say hello and are mostly quiet aside from the occasional loud tv I hear next door. I’ve never had a mouse or roach issue though you do sometimes see a centipede or ants during seasons change but thats standard for these buildings. Also a larger laundromat across the street if you prefer drop off or need big machines. Location is amazing and walking distance to two train stations, park, museum, botanical garden and library.

Since its older theres sometimes issues with heat turning on and the boiler but management is good about calling in technicians. No elevator so its a walk up and some units are very small.

Change the boiler

Nice speakers, laundry in unit

Building manager slow to respond, not very helpful when packages stolen
