Too many roach roommates
Pros
Pet friendly and small. We had no issues with neighbors. We’re pretty sure many units are illegal airbnbs though and some guests were really loud.
Cons
The apartment was dark and roach infested. Not a good combo at all. It got way worse when the unit upstairs moved out. I assume they bombed it for roaches. Also they never repaired one of the bathrooms after the ceiling caved in.
Advice to the owners
Cut the grass and exterminate.
Good for the price
Pros
Good for the price, great location, spacious enough for a couple, new appliances.
Cons
Thin walls. Landlord is very slow to respond to repairs. Hot water cuts out every shower, lots of rats (like A LOT) by the building entrance, the building’s front door lock has been broken for months, mailbox is broken, packages get stolen, dirty vestibule, and they’re very slow to clear snow etc.
Advice to the owners
Respond to repair requests and actually fix things. You don’t seem to care at all.
