Beware the management
Pros
The building is in a good location, generally a quiet building.
Cons
The management company is absolutely awful. They were impossible to get in touch with, so make sure you have to deal with them as little as possible. Also, one of the management company’s family members lives in the building, and he ~allegedly~ started a fire in early 2023 that caused extreme water damage to the building, but the management company didn’t own up to it because they were trying to protect him. Stay far away from this building, it’s not worth the hassle.
Dodge the bullet
Pros
People in the building are fine and quiet, super is very responsive, location is good, good lighting in the building.
Cons
Where to start: Landlord never responds to messages, slow to make any fixes (buzzer has been out for over a year and they refuse to fix), super is great tho, not rent controlled so they *will* hike your rent if they want to, side of building facing the street is a bit loud, floors and walls are on the thin side, so neighbors complain a lot about any slightest noise. Buzzer doesn’t work and hasn’t for years apparently. The real estate agents that show you the place don’t disclose their relationship with the company, slow to get a copy of the lease. I’ll be leaving as quickly as I can once my lease is up!
Advice to the owners
Be more responsive, fix the buzzer before a tenant complains to the city, etc.
