clean building, nothing special though
Pros
Quiet, clean, super is responsive, gym available, elevator
Cons
Elevator is broken sometimes, hot water has been off a few times, water was completely off for 3 days once
Thin walls, flimsiest of buildings!
Pros
The apartment was clean and freshly painted when I moved in. Spacious apartment Pleasant and neighbors are pleasant enough
Cons
Heat is "included" in the rent, be ready to wear "outerwear" indoors since temp is kept at 68f (legal minimum). The heater radiator is so loud, my eardrums hurt and haven't had a full night sleep since the cold weather started. Super claims there is no solution, despite mgmt many attempts. It is true about one of the entrances being used as the garbage area; it's like walking into a dumpster (used as the move-in/out area), with mice and roaches galore. Heard from neighbors that the elevator breaks frequently, so now I make sure to have my cell phone at hand each time I'm in there (50's elevator, very vintage:) You'll hear your neighbors' conversations, dogs barking, babies crying - surely they can hear my cat meowing.. and the neighbor downstairs must have a rolling something, I feel as if there is a highway under me; my floor is constantly shaking.
Advice to the owners
Tell your real estate agents to be truthful about what the tenant will encounter (neighbors' noise level & heater radiator noise) - especially when someone makes it a point to say they're light sleepers, the agent should be truthful, so that the right tenant is given the opportunity to rent, as opposed to bringing a tenant to an environment filled with this many nuisances. Better sanitation / pest control in the garbage area.
