its a great building

Pros

great location, competitive rents for the neighbpourhood, building built with quality materials

Cons

garbage rooms not cleaned often. the staircase is cleaned maybe twice a year hostile unresponsive owner, taking advantage of the fact the building is stabilized issues with breaking in by the local homeless and addicts, the owner does nothing about it the street is quite noisy if your unit is facing it. the media room is full with someone's personal stuff so it cannot be used.

Advice to the owners

dont own a stabilized building if you dont plan on maintaining it
