Dont rent here
Pros
some lovely front desk and maintenance staff
Cons
A/C units do not work. it's impossible to cool one's apartment. management can't/won't buy new A/C units so they 'repair' these 40 year old units and recycle them. it's a joke. the windows are drafty and poor quality. you can hear every siren and car horn even from high above (50th stories and more up). when it rains, it rains inside too because the windows leak. Elevators are slow and shaky. When it is windy outside the elevators are a public peril. That is how poorly built this building is. The laundry room is disgusting. Most machines are full of mold and mildew, and do not work. You can waste half a day doing laundry because you need to wash things twice. And it's expensive. You regularly have to request refunds for machines that don't work (laundry soap does actually make it into the machine wash, rinsing cycle broken, dryers that don't work and require 3 runs - costing over $8- to dry non bulky items). All management (who are on site) care about is money. And the laundry room isn't their problem, of course. Couldn't care less to repair/maintain the building/units. Many market rate tenants do not renew leases here because of the range of problems and outrageous rent. Some evening door staff couldn't care less about the safety of the building and residents and there was a sudden policy recently established that requires the front door be locked from 11pm-6am and only those with key fobs can enter the building. Imagine what must have happened for that to occur.
Advice to the owners
They are well aware of all of these issues. If they cared they'd do something, but they don't
