Great Building, Continued Harassment from Landlord and Management
Pros
The apartments themselves are nice-looking, but most furnishings, amenities, and appliances have significant wear and it takes effort to get them replaced. Some of the wear is dangerous (think smells of gas, burning rubber, unsecured floorboards in outdoor spaces, smoking treadmills, etc.), and some should just be expected from a 10 year old building (cabinets falling off hinges, faucet knobs falling midst-bath, etc.). Overall would be a nice place to live and even "luxurious" if the landlord would do minimal upkeep.
Cons
MANAGEMENT AND MAINTENANCE. There is so much potential here, yet the landlord is impossible to speak with and the building manager is abrasive. For the life of most tenants at the time of this review, we cannot understand why the landlord employs her given that we all escalate things directly to him at this point. As mentioned in earlier pros - everything needs an update essentially but good luck getting the building manager to agree.
Advice to the owners
Get a new property manager.
Hood living
Pros
Location: across the street from a park with quick access to buses and trains.
Cons
The tenants and neighbors. Dirty people who throw things out of the window, hang in the court yard, and generally just don't give af.
Advice to the owners
Take more pride in your upkeep and maybe tenants will want to take better care as well.
