My honest opinion
Pros
Location is wonderful, plenty of public parking and building is maintained somewhat well
Cons
Hallways floors and elevators need to be thoroughly cleaned. Bathrooms and kitchens are out dated.
Advice to the owners
strip the hallways floors, clean the elevators daily and replace outer building doors that are difficult to open
Rent to high for very mediocre conditions and service .
Pros
Quiet and fairly clean
Cons
The owners/management have a very poor communication system, completely outdated, don’t respond to problems unless it’s dangerous, ignore multiple issues, hire cheap contractors that do poor jobs, multiple problems are ongoing, the building is not energy officiant, heating leaks regularly, yearly occurrences of no/poor heat during the coldest periods, pipes leak between floors, bad conditions of walls, ceilings, paint, walls are not properly waterproofed, inner walls around windows that aren’t well installed are damp. Prices go up but the conditions in the building are not up to the standard of high rent. After 3 years of complaints two engineers were sent with the super to measure moisture within walls surrounding windows in all 3 bedrooms - during a very dry period they found water inside. Nothing is being done!
Advice to the owners
Improve the building in general, higher quality contractors, care about your tenants, update communication and conditions of walls, pipes, energy supply. Fix leaks! Lower rent!
