Perfectly fine spot
Former Tenant
Pros:
Super is friendly, apartment is fairly big for the price
Cons:
Lots of small problems with the apt - no venting in the bathroom, oven doesn't work, mold, missing light covers, etc.
Over 2 years ago
Great location and big unit. Mice.
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great location, friendly building staff, building is well-maintained, aesthetically.
Cons:
Mice. Super did genuinely try to help, but the building is clearly infested and an apartment-by-apartment solution isn’t going to fix it. Management did lie and say that other units weren’t dealing with mice when clearly they were. Also laundry was expensive ($5.75 total per load).
Advice to owner:
Handle the building-wide mouse issue.

Old building, poor upleep
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location
Appliances (all working)
Com-system
Outside appearance
Cons:
-THIN floors/ceiling
-Old floors/ceiling (can hear everything)
-Cockroach infestation (words of the exterminator)
-Unhelpful super (unfortunately he is near useless. I feel bad saying so, it is it what it is. Lazy, but maybe management overworks him)
-Desired area, so management knows that can easily replace tenants
Advice to owner:
Arben give zero care about his job, I have 100 examples of him doing Negative work to the building

Everyone can hear their neighbors conversations because floors are so thin. They don’t tell you this during open houses, but they still charge a premium (seems like there is lots of turnover)

Loved but they raised rents insane
Former Tenant
Pros:
Quiet, beautiful street, good super, I liked the trash shoots
Cons:
They raised prices an insane amount after Covid, in a way I feel was unethical.
Advice to owner:
Your tenants are human beings.

Renter Review 2022
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location is good
Cons:
Noise, mice, pests, slow responsiveness to fix items
Over 2 years ago
Mice issue. Management won’t help.
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great location. Nice entry way.
Cons:
Had a mice issue for months and they did not care or do anything about it. Management does not pick up when you call. Once brought a lawyer in started taking issue somewhat seriously. They also lied to us and said other apartments weren’t having issues when they were. Would not recommend living here.

No frills, but totally fine!
Former Tenant
Pros:
Nothing broke in the year I lived here, no packages stolen, Super was responsive (if a bit gruff), elevator always worked, Super was flexible about move in/out hours
Cons:
Entry and hallways were quite ugly / dated, kitchen appliances were old
Advice to owner:
Upgrades to common spaces and kitchen/bathroom would be very nice!
