    The Absolute Worst
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    -Beautiful sunlight in every room.
    -High ceilings.
    -Neighbours are generally nice, respectful, and quiet.
    -AC’s are very efficient and powerful (we never paid more than $100-$150 between 3 adults for heat and cooling)!
    Cons:
    -Super is comically horrible. I wonder if the landlord told him to be stupendously half-assed at his job to save money or something. He's gaslit me, come into my apartment with no warning, locked me out once when he came in while I was away (and then said he wouldn't help me get into my one and only home because he was "off-duty"; when I called the management office, they said I'd have to pay a $20 fee for forgetting my key but he tried to scam me and ask for $50 before I made him call his own goddamn office to confirm), and is just overall rude. I hate him passionately.
    -Never met the landlord. Who even is she/he?
    -Management office won't respond to you 75% of the time if you have a legitimate complaint.
    -Electric stove is extremely finicky, annoying, and a pain to clean.
    -Floors have like a "sticky" texture to them making them almost impossible to clean.
    -Windows are not insulated well; in the winter there’s condensation and mold will grow like crazy. :(
    -Water takes FOREVER to warm up!!!!!
    -Only one set of weak laundry machines to serve the whole building, AND you have to pay to use it.
    Advice to owner:
    Train your super and staff better. Actually listen to tenant complaints. Stop cheaping out on fixing the fixtures that need fixing!!!

    3/5 would not recommend
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Modern appliance (dish washer)
    Cons:
    Thin walls, 1 washer/dryer that the salon also uses, cleaning service for the hallway is awful, zero response form “management” about issues with apt/building, high electricity bill, building address is apparently not in the Census (possibly illegal),
    Advice to owner:
    Demolish and start over.
