Crazy Neighbors and Roof Leaks

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 the owners

Maintain your building.

Surprisingly nice but cozy

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 the owners

Fix the buzzer.
