Thin walls. Management says it’s a smoke free building but doesn’t do much to enforce it. They send warning emails and tell tenants they have to figure out who the smokers are.
Management is not available on the weekends - so if you have a weekend maintenance emergency, if a neighbor is throwing a late night party or being loud, goodluck.

Reinforce building rules for the common areas (community room, roof, laundry, gym)

Very well kept space with organized management. Usually responsive to questions really quickly! Sometimes laundry machines were broken, but they were good about quick repairs when notified.

No pets allowed, which is ultimately why I moved out when adopting a dog; however, there are at least 1-2 tenants (if not more) who had dogs, so disliked the lack of clarity on this policy.
