Sweatiest year of my life
Former Tenant
Pros:
Building was pretty clean and the trash was managed by the on site guy who was really nice and chill. Never saw any pests in our place, but we were on the top floor. Our neighbors were friendly, and it was a mix of young folks like us and a few older folks. We met some of the young folks early on and even hung out once or twice. One time I met the nice older lady downstairs who let me borrow her ladder, and she barely spoke English but she went out of her way to help me.
Cons:
Lived on the top floor, which we knew going into it the stairs would be a pain. But what we didn't account for was that the heat from the whole building would rise up to our level all fall and winter, and it felt like we were baking in there. Our radiators were on wayyy too much and we took things into our own hands and manually turned off the radiators in our rooms to reduce the constant sweating. Big windows were nice but not so much when in the summer they let in tons of sun and the place was basically a sauna. Bathroom got to like 90 degrees pretty much every day in the summer. We'd leave all the lights off and windows open all night with fans, and it got a little buggy. The place drove me crazy- lower floors are probably better, but less light. Also, the buzzer for the front door broke constantly, which sucked because we had to go down 6 flights to let someone in. Not the most secure building. We had a whole TV stolen within 5 minutes of it being delivered from our mail area. People left random stuff under the stairs near the mail boxes a lot. Hall sometimes smelled like cat piss.
Advice to owner:
The long time tenants here are so nice and make the building feel safer. Keep them around.

Former Tenant
Pros:
the location, building, and neighbors were lovely. and despite a weirdly sized kitchen and no closets, it was a great place to land.
Cons:
The management company lost our rent check on multiple occasions and didn't alert us till the end of the month and acted like we didn't pay. additionally they never fixed the leaking radiator in my room all winter and started to ghost me after several calls.
Advice to owner:
please fix things in a timely manor
