Very run down building but a great location
Pros
Great location near the trains and lots of bars/restaurants
Cons
Not a good place to work from home. Paper thin ceilings/floors and people stomp around like maniacs 24/7. A lady lives illegally in the boiler room and constantly screams/laughs hysterically…super creepy and irritating. She has gotten worse and threatening to neighbors since she’s gotten several noise complaints. The building also has extremely loud radiator pipes. This is right next to Kings Co restaurant so all the delivery men honk and rev their engines outside our building. Rent keeps going up despite no curb appeal or any work being done to maintain the building.
Advice to the owners
Kick out the illegal basement squatter. People pay too much money to live here to deal with her. 1st floor tenanrs should also be notified that someone is living in the boiler room before signing the lease. The building interior also needs a lot of work.
Old building in great location
Pros
Location location location
Cons
The building is old. The radiators are old and leak throughout the building. Caused the ceiling to collapse. Building mgmt fixed but no discount. The shower and tub does not fully drain. mgmt would would not. Exposed pipes make a lot of noise when heat is turned on from anyone in the building.
