    Crazy Neighbors and Roof Leaks
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    It’s cheap and a decently renovated unit.
    Cons:
    The roof began leaking and I had severe water damage. Floor tiles were broken. There were constant bugs (bees, wasps, etc) inside the apartment. The woman downstairs from me constantly called 311 claiming I was making noise when I wasn’t even home or when I was sleeping.
    Advice to owner:
    Maintain your building.

    Surprisingly nice but cozy
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Quiet, responsive super, reasonable rent, good heat and hot water. Close to transit and groceries. Good neighbors.
    Cons:
    Over reactive smoke detectors that can go off for long periods. Sometimes entrance smells weird. Mail can be tricky to receive especially packages.
    Advice to owner:
    Fix the buzzer.
