The best Super
Pros
The super is very responsive. As soon as something goes wrong you can call/text and he is there to fix it.
Cons
The landlords never answer though. So when he is out of town it’s truly noticeable. Mold in bathrooms and kitchen. Leaks from upstairs apartment into first floor apartment. Package theft even when placed near cameras. No one checks. The super will sometimes hold onto a package and let us know because he knows people steal.
Advice to the owners
Maintain the building. Allow more assistance. Super should have a small team to help get all tasks done
A modern building but a little inconveniently located
Pros
A clean and relatively modern / renovated building, with a video intercom that can be operated via a phone app. Transport-wise, near the M14SBS stop. My apartment had okay leafy tree views.
Cons
Windows don't fully open (only a few inches) which made for limited airflow during summer. It was sometimes quite noisy (I was on FL3 overlooking the building entrance and could hear everything from the street). Also when guests would use the video intercom to buzz a resident repeatedly who wasn't answering the repetitive ringing noise was so shrill and weirdly disruptive and loud in that apartment. Bathroom sink stopped draining properly after my first few months. The building is super far from major supermarkets and subway lines
