Student Housing and AirBnB
Pros
Central to everything
Cons
Overpriced for what you get, bathrooms are horrendous and shared, neighbors are random people. Neighbors smoke inside building.
Good Staff but poorly managed building
Pros
Very nice and respectful management team Flexible Always willing to help
Cons
The building is old, and the walls are extremely thin. I can hear both the neighbor next to me and the neighbor below me walking around in their apartments. The noise is unbearable. I can also hear normal everyday activities such as cabinets being slammed, phone conversations, and other basic household noise. There is inadequate heating during the winter, and the apartments are poorly insulated from the cold. Maintenance issues are rarely properly addressed the repairs feel more like temporary band-aids rather than fixing the actual root of the problem. The garbage regularly overflows, causing terrible smells and attracting insects, and there is no on-site super in the building. There is also frequently a strong smell of cigarette smoke throughout the building, and management does nothing meaningful to address it.
Advice to the owners
Work with a contractor to improve the building’s sound insulation, hire an in-house super, and start taking your tenants’ concerns seriously.
