My Take on This Bldg
Pros
For a studio apartment, my kitchen was nice (not all units have updated kitchen). Courtyard facing, so street noise minimum
Cons
The exhaust fans in the kitchens are all linked, so when your neighbor cooks smelly things or burns something, your apartment smells. Trash room is very cramped and some neighbors are too lazy to carry their trash in and dump it in the courtyard. Bathroom paint began to peel after a few months, despite opening bathroom window when showering as instructed by lease. Have seen large cockroaches (alive) in 1st floor hallways as well as live and dead mice in the basement. I expect bugs, but in 6 months they’ve never brought in an exterminator.
Advice to the owners
Mop the communal areas with clean water and some elbow grease. Use paint meant for bathrooms so it doesn’t bubble and flake.
