Nice & Quiet
Pros
Neighbors are friendly and respectful, it’s in a quiet neighborhood, and the Super is fast to respond to messages, but it takes awhile for him to do anything about it.
Cons
New intercom system not working
Don't Rent Here
Pros
Neighbors are really nice and pretty close to the train, shops, etc
Cons
-huge roach problem. The entire building is infested. Reported to management and the super and nothing is being done besides regular monthly exterminator visits that aren't working. They also have been telling tenants 10 to 12 for exterminator visits but he often comes way earlier than 10am. -the common areas are filthy. You'll see a lot of dead bugs in the lobby and in the common areas. There are also dust and piles of dirt in the corners especially in the elevator -the walls are definitely thin. The upstairs person stops really loudly and drops things and it sounds like it's in my apartment -the disabled entrance is by the garbage that doesn't seem to be taken out very often and adds to the pest problem (I've seem both bugs and rats there). I help elders go up and down the stairs than letting them use the disabled entrance -the garbage shoot is covered in roaches -it is extremely hot all year around. In the winter the heat makes the apartment go up to around 96 degrees. Opening the window really doesn't help much either. I've turned off all ventilators and heat still comes through them and makes it unbearably hot even with all the windows open -some if my windows can't open at all. -the water pressure is really light and it takes a long time for the toilets to flush after you flush once. The building hired a plumber to look at it who just said that's how toilets are, which is obviously not true. -the stove has a STRONG smell of gas every time you turn it on I don't recommend renting here
Advice to the owners
- clearly the super isn't able to care for the building. Get someone or people who can keep it clean. - take the roach problem seriously. There should be serious efforts taken to make sure people aren't exposed to this health risk. Communicate those efforts to your tenants - be clear about your pet policy. Your realtor is telling people that they can have pets for a pet fee, but it is not at all stated on the lease and it doesn't seem like the super is aware of this as well
