Building has gone downhill
Pros
Elevator is consistent and always working. Building lobby is very clean. Laundry room on each floor.
Cons
Heating and cooling units provided by the building are extremely loud. Heating is not included. Hallway rugs are dirty. Bathrooms vents bring in all smells from other apartments, can smell when people are smoking. Some tenants some in common areas. Roof is not well maintained. Washing machines aren’t always working. Windows don’t really block out noise well from outside.
Advice to the owners
Maintain the building better. Fine people who smoke inside the building. If people aren’t following the rules evict them, the rules need to apply to all not just some people.
Pretty decent apartment
Pros
Big kitchen with lots of counter space, rent stabilized
Cons
Windows are not very sound insulating, can hear outside noise (such as kids screaming in the playground beside us, or the church bells ringing) very easily
