Good Location and Layout, but Ongoing Management and Maintenance Concerns
Pros
• Convenient location near a reliable L train stop • Street parking was generally easy to find • Well-stocked supermarket within walking distance • Apartment had a functional and comfortable layout
Cons
• There were unprofessional interactions with the superintendent at various points during my tenancy • The superintendent was not consistently on the property • Ongoing disturbances from a neighbor, including frequent loud arguments • Shared common areas were often used in ways that felt intrusive and uncomfortable • The shower appeared to be improperly installed, with fixtures that could become dangerously hot • Maintenance issues were often handled informally and not resolved properly (for example, plumbing repairs that were temporary rather than fixed) • My security deposit was not returned until formal action was taken
Poorly Maintained Building
Pros
nice location, friendly neighborhood
Cons
building is rundown, most of the outlets don't work, it gets incredibly humid and moldy everywhere, broken rusty fire escape, inconsistent heating in the building, noisy street with lots of metal/construction sounds daily and air pollution
