Constant Rodent Issues
Pros
Decent sized apartment
Cons
Constant issues with rodents/smells. One of our toilets hardly worked and we were told to just live with it. We experienced flooding, had a leak from the neighbor upstairs that happened 6 times before it was actually fixed. New management is more responsive but the building itself isn't in great shape.
severe rat problem
Pros
good location, beautiful rooftop view, close to transit
Cons
there’s a major rat problem in this building. we had multiple rats that got into our apartment. the rest of them lived within the walls and the building/our apartment constantly smells like decomposing rats. during the summer months, every time the rats would die, we would get major fly infestations. and I mean hundreds and hundreds of flies. you would assume a person died in the apartment that’s how bad it was. the last rat I saw in our apartment was january 2023. on top of the rats, we dealt with major flooding problems whenever it would rain heavily. our unit also flooded from the ceiling due to issues with the upstair unit’s bathroom. our packages were stolen constantly, people on the street tear through the garbage bags all the time and leave trash all over the sidewalk. we had roaches too of course. there were many moments where the apartment was not suitable for people to live in any longer, but we were stuck there. on top of all of that, management does not clean the units in preparation for the arrival of new tenants. we moved into a dirty and worn apartment and I watched other tenants do the same. I would strongly advise against living in this building. the location is not worth it.
