Perfectly solid place
Pros
Maintenance requests are completed in a timely manner. The building is kept clean and garbage is handled in a timely manner. I have no real pest problems and there are regular visits by pest control. My unit has a built-in minisplit, so it's easy to control heat and cooling.
Cons
The walls and floors are on the thin side, so the bass of the downstairs neighbor sometimes rattles my apartment, as do the heavy footsteps of my upstairs neighbor. There are some issues with the building being older/converted, so some maintenance issues keep coming up. While finishes look sleek, they are low quality and can break more easily. There are other additional minor quirks with the space, like doors that open in the wrong direction.
Very Little to Like
Pros
The bathroom was recently renovated and the apartment had central air. There are a few local spots which are nice.
Cons
The apartment was the top floor of a three family block with a skylight that constantly leaked and management who insisted it was fixed despite reporting to them I was injured after slipping! None of the doors were self closing and it took threats of involving the fire department before anything was done. The front door lock broke and as such was open to everyone. The small mail area in front of the doorway was a constant disgrace. The neighbors and surrounding people are mostly rude and disrespectful, a bunch of local kids broke a window on the first floor. A homeless shelter is right across the street, so there is the danger of running into them. It is far from decent transport links. Walking to the A is at least 15 minutes. There was a constant insect and roach issue and vile service in return from the management. The manager and June Homes have zero clue what they are doing. STEER CLEAR OF JUNE HOMES.
Advice to the owners
Realize you have a job to do and do it. Stop being slum lords. Make sure you respond to requests and don’t shove our concerns aside.
