Good for an old building
Pros
Lots of architects live in building that care about its preservation
Cons
The management company is not proactive. The security of the building has been compromised, with packages stolen and thieves gaining entry. They have installed flood lights in entryway and a package credenza but theft issues continue.
Advice to the owners
Fix security issues. Water pressure is weak for shower and bathroom. Renovation for apartment was supposed to end June and is still happening in December as construction signs are still up in lobby.
Decent, but could be better for the neighborhood it's in.
Pros
(Mostly) working utilities and front door. Hot water. Decently sized in-building laundry.
Cons
Washers/Dryers were often out of order. Poorly ventilated leading to lots of cockroaches and noise pollution. Windows were practically translucent because of the dirt.
Advice to the owners
Have maintainence check in more regularly and do more upkeep. Spray for bugs.
