Spacious apartment, great location, quiet/peaceful neighborhood, close to train
Pros
I love how large of a studio I get for the price. Walking distance to train and convenience stores. The neighbors are nice and the super is very sweet. Management office is also very responsive whenever I call.
Cons
The first floor is disgusting. Over time, a serious pest issue has evolved into a nightmare. When I first moved in, there were roaches in just the garbage rooms on the first floor. Over the last few months, the problem has spread to the laundry room and in the entryway lobby. You’ll sometimes see roaches crawling around packages in the mail area. There’s constantly roaches in the hallways leading to take out your trash and do your laundry. If you have guests come over, you may be embarrassed for them to see dead roaches squished on the floor while you wait for the elevator. Thankfully, this issue has not spread to the units. But I don’t even want to use the laundry anymore, even though it is so conveniently located within the building.
Advice to the owners
Get rid of the pest issue in the first floor. Schedule monthly pest service to each unit in order to avoid the problem spreading to the remainder of the building.
