Great building with nice charm
Pros
Super well maintained building and nice touches
Cons
Expensive, sometimes the front door doesn't fully close
pests and unresponsive landlords
Pros
Great location, updated appliances, nice flooring.
Cons
Maintenance of the building was disappointing. Garbage outside is not well taken care of, leading to rats under and around the stoop. Landlords do next to nothing to prevent pests, including ignoring the roach problem. Apartment was not cleaned well before move in. Regular apartment maintenance concerns are not addressed properly. Front door of the building does not lock unless the door is slammed. Doors in the apartment are old and do not latch. Laundry room machines are constantly broken. Rent is high for the area/space. Surprise monthly fees were added to the lease on move in day.
Advice to the owners
More regular upkeep of the building is needed (garbage, painting, replacing doors, fixing the broken wood in common spaces.)
