Bad experience in this building
Pros
Close to trains and supermarkets
Cons
The maintenance of the building is bad. They don’t clean common areas for tenants in months such as hallways, lobby, laundry. The intercoms don’t work. I have to go downstairs to pick up my deliveries, being scared that something can happen. Recently they changed the locks of one of the door and nobody has access to through that door. Currently the main door is hard to open. There are always a lot of homeless sitting down in the lobby, sleeping in the hallways, also going inside the building stealing packages, and leaving garbage that never gets pick up. The manager of the building don’t care about the current situation. I’ve never met the manager of the building not even once. That means she/he never shows up to keep an eye about what’s going on in here. The last thing are the roaches going back and forth in the hallways going under different doors, never seen an exterminator.All they do is to increase rent, and never keep an appropriate environment for all the tenants. There are a lot of things they need to improve. Especially since the rent is not for free.
Advice to the owners
Hiring people who wants to work, not lazy people. Start keeping a clean and safe environment and stop high rent
Bugs Theft Bugs
Pros
Spacious 1 bedroom apartment. Lots of closet space. The maintenance staff- the actual workers (a least a couple of them), were very responsive/helpful and felt bad for the tenants of this building.
Cons
Bugs- constant bug problem. Even with extermination, I spent the entire of my lease living with roaches not matter how clean I was. They were everywhere, especially in the kitchen/bathroom areas. Who wants to cook with the fear of roaches coming out. Who wants to have friends over with fear of roaches coming out. Old building with limited touch ups. The community noise- folks blasting music right outside the building. Theft! Packages going missing. Never took a bath as there was dirty water coming out of my bathtub for the majority of my lease; never resolved as "it is what it is- it's just the pipes" Happened anytime you turned the water on too high, brown deposit would follow. The PM was useless. Absolutely useless.
Advice to the owners
There are significant foundational issues in this building. Weekly extermination is required, an advancement from monthly. The "Take Apartment As Is" needs to be stopped. As a management company, you need to come in and do a full cleaning and update from tenant to tenant. A new and more competent PM is needed.
