Nice apartment, super/maintenance unresponsive
Pros
Beautiful area, amazing roof, lots of space and natural light, lots of kitchen space and big fridge. Nice layout!
Cons
1. the connectivity in the building is not great. two / three rommies work from home and it goes out almost everyday, when we watch tv etc. it’s not just us, it’s the whole building, we’ve asked other tenants. we even asked optimum to come check the wifi but they charge an $80 fee if it’s the building not the wifi itself. 2. it gets pretty hot up here in the winter. you can’t control the heat, it’s controlled by the building. the building barely ever turns it off from sept - may. 3. there’s an ant problem in the kitchen whenever it gets warm. we’ve also found multiple cockroaches/ water bugs in various locations but never bed bugs. 4. In the winter, there’s an annoying tapping noise in two of the rooms because the pipes freeze. It makes it hard to sleep and i had to buy headphones. I asked the building to bleed the pipes but they didn’t.
Advice to the owners
bleed the pipes and fix connectivity pls!
For the cost, I'd look at one of the newer buildings in the area
Pros
Close to an express train with great delivery options.
Cons
Very little insulation. It takes a lot of $ to heat and cool your unit. Lots of street noise from traffic, to fights and businesses that stay open all hours of the night.
