Great Building in Great Location
Pros
Spacious units with good features. Elevator is convenient. Building offers laundry for those without in-unit machines. The backyard/courtyard is a lovely addition. For the most part, the new management (stepped in around 2024) has been responsive and taken concerns seriously. The team (including the Super) are really nice, too. It's been a great building to live in, as long as you can balance the hecticness of the neighborhood (which of course brings its own benefits - lots of great restaurants, cafes and shops).
Cons
This building is in a noisy neighborhood and we can definitely hear lots of street sounds, bars, etc. Certain neighbors can be very loud as well (loud music at night, stomping around, yelling, etc.). These complaints are more a feature of the neighborhood and particular neighbors, less about the building's management. The staircase, basement and lobby could be kept in cleaner conditions especially since renovating - things look nice but the dirt buildup takes away from the charm. Rent for certain units can be quite high and increases lead to high turnover which can be disruptive and also adds a lot of inconsistency/unknown with the neighbor population.
Large units with great location and amazing supers
Pros
Supers are best and kind. They are very helpful. Neighbors are quiet. Never any major issues with pest or garbage.
Cons
Can be loud on ave A and basement feels dingy. One washer and dryer for entire building isn’t enough.
