Nice Building, Excellent Management
Pros
Great location, pet loving landlords, great to have a private courtyard (w/bike storage) and roof deck during quarantine. Dishwasher and HVAC in units, coin laundry room in basement. Building has been lived-in, but maintained. Common areas kept clean by staff. Super is responsive and quick with repairs. Small, family-owned property mgmt office located two doors down. There is a beautiful Japanese shio plum tree behind the property that blossoms and fruits each year.
Cons
Some of the finishes in the units are basic or outdated. (A lot of honey oak.) There are a few design flaws- such as the tiled-in toilet paper holder being 50” reach from the seat. The laundry room machines often have issues, which was less annoying when they were cheaper. It’s a walk-up, so upstairs tenants get some flights in. Intercom building, generally feels secure, but having Salerno open 24/7 is kind of nice. One loud, drunk neighbor yells on the phone, is the president of the renter’s association. Even though we don’t have said association.
Advice to the owners
Less coins in the laundry. Otherwise, thanks for being great lords of the land.
