poorly managed building. super didn’t care nor answered any calls. packages were stolen all the time, garbage was left to pile up each week—so definitely had mice in the building, do not rent here if you have a choice. oh also my bedroom door literally split in half because the panels were separating and it took them 3 months to get a new door,
Advice to owner:
get a new super who cares

New Cottage, old building
Former Tenant
Pros:
Amazing location. Reasonably well maintained. Laundry in the building. Things get fixed if you bug management. Reasonable with me about if rent checks are late. Great old timers living in the building! New Cottage Chinese restaurant isn’t as cool as the old place (whose sign is still there) but it’s decent and nice to have a local restaurant in the building.
Cons:
Trash tends to pile up. Super not very responsive. Active construction next door for years (not managements fault obviously). Won’t let tenants hang in the courtyard or on the roof (maybe because of construction?)
Advice to owner:
Better trash management, and let us hang out in the courtyard and/or on the roof please!
