Does The Job
Pros
Our specific unit was updated. Had it's flaws, but definitely worked for us. In-building laundry. Quiet.
Cons
Basement where laundry is located is pretty scary. The stairs are a bit hazardous and not kept clean (tons of dust and debris). Heating is way too hot, so we keep ours off completely in the winter months. Owner/landlord relatively unresponsive.
Heavily Neglected Building with Decent Apartments
Pros
Most apartments are renovated with IKEA and decent stainless appliances The building is on a quiet residential street
Cons
The common areas are completely neglected The landlord is not responsive to repairs, so many things in the building don’t work or are in complete disrepair
Advice to the owners
Renovate the common areas Fix the things that don’t work in the apartments, including water pressure Renovate the basement into usable space Add a modern intercom system This will help with tenant retention
