Small units, quality building
Former Tenant
Pros:
Building is well maintained, free pest control sprays monthly, thick walls, no leaks or plumbing issues. Supers kids live in building and manage trash, monthly cleaning for hallways and stairs. It’s a good quality building
Cons:
Street noise, major construction next door but that will end eventually. Some package theft. Heater gets too hot. No amenities

Great for new transplants in their early 20s
Former Tenant
Pros:
I lived in this building for 7 years with different roommates throughout the seasons. It was a 3 bedroom / 1 bathroom apartment. The price of our apartment hardly went up as long as we continued the lease. The landlords were pretty elderly so they were old school — meaning that they only wanted checks and they printed out our lease and gave us carbon copies. They hired a newer younger gentleman to help with building management, which was nice. Overall I had a very positive experience living there.
Cons:
They take a while to do fixes on your apartment to make sure you really need it, so stay persistent yet kind and professional and know your tenant rights.
Advice to owner:
Would recommend a window cleaning once a year :)

Good Apartment Building
Former Tenant
Pros:
Butterfly Virtual Doorman System
Location
Super is friendly and responsive
Management has an online tenant portal for requests and rent
Security Cameras in Lobby
Heat was always on when necessary
Any building-wide issues (i.e. hot water not working) were addressed and fixed quickly (within a day or two)
Hot Water, Heat and Gas is included in the rent
Cons:
Some of the security Cameras in the lobby haven't been working for a couple of weeks and the owners have taken a while to get them fixed, which led to a few packages being stolen from the lobby/mailbox area.

Decent and spacious
Former Tenant
Pros:
Management is super responsive and over all quick to get to requests. The rooms are very spacious and the 2bedrooms have 2 bathrooms.
Cons:
Very outdated and sometimes management won’t fix things because they work “good enough.” Seems like they will let anyone move in here. We have had some very noisy neighbors.
