Decent but rent hiked
Pros
Apartment is pretty clean and they send an exterminator every month who will check for pests for you Management will respond to messages quickly Water pressure and gas works well, the heat is managed by the tenants so I can control the temperature of my own apartment
Cons
The rent increases have been a little intense, especially with the management changing hands. I’ve lived here since 2021 and the rent went from 2500 to 3200 in that time. Also my apartment is identical to the unit next to me but they charged us 200 more a month, because they “needed to raise the rent” to keep up with the market. When we tried to negotiate we were told to take the price or move out, zero wiggle room despite 2 years of never missing a rent payment. We also had a plumbing problem and though they were responsive they hired a plumbing team that left a disaster in our apartment and caused water damage on our floor. The plumbers also kept not showing up when they said they would, making us wait over 8 hours for them to come and management did very little to assist with this. When we asked to get some rent taken off the month because we could not use the kitchen sink or any of the appliances for five days we were told no and that they would take us to small claims court if we did.
Do not rent from here
Pros
Friendly neighbors, close to the subway station
Cons
We had a lot of difficulty in getting keys to our place (took over a week). The super is very flakey and does not commit to what he says he will do. Our unit was also filthy and not ready to move in, even days after our lease had started. There are holes in the floor, roaches and mice throughout the building, and mold. I would not recommend living here considering the lack of response from the property managers and insufficient maintenance of the building.
