Gets the job done
Pros
Cozy walk up, fantastic location, good sunlight exposure (for west-facing apartments).
Cons
thin ceilings so you can hear neighbors walking/stomping around, landlord very unresponsive, old old building with barely any upkeep
Advice to the owners
be more responsive to tenant issues. windows are old and thin and drafty - they could use replacing
Ceiling leak unfixed my whole lease tenure
Pros
Good price / location. No mice or pests...that I know of.
Cons
Would take a long time to respond to ceiling leak issues. Then would just cover it up without effort to fix underlying problem with broken roof. Got so bad at one point that mushrooms started growing. Also windows had cracks and the heaters were really loud (although that’s to be expected To an extent).
Advice to the owners
Invest to maintain the building. It’s in a very sad state currently. Or at least my apartment and the common areas make it seem that way.
