tiny apartment, great location
Pros
location, bay windows in bed room, natural light in bedrooms, water pressure is good, only 4 apartments on each floor so felt quiet, rarely heard neighbors, trash emptied frequently downstairs, never seen bug or rat down by trash, neighbors in apartment are all different ages and super friendly, stayed for 4 years so ultimately couldn't have been that bad despite having more cons than pros
Cons
unresponsive super for actual issues, had cockroaches for first 2 years lived here until we paid for Orkin ourselves to get rid of it (2 years without them after this), building sent multiple exterminators that didn't help but one does come at the start of each month now, required to submit maintenance requests to get things fixed in apartment and sometimes no one comes so we have to follow up multiple times, no washer/dryer, no dishwasher, sink gargles and makes weird noises and we've asked for them to fix it and they've sent multiple people and nothing has changed, no virtual doorman on the outside door which causes issues with packages stolen or door lock breaking and not being a lock but they started putting packages more hidden behind stairwell
Advice to the owners
actually listen to your tenants about issues and follow up to see if they're fixed instead of ignoring them, look into getting dishwashers in the units (would decrease turnover i promise you), update locks on doors so people stop getting locked out, add virtual doorman system
Home sweet home
Pros
Warm, cozy, good neighborhood
Cons
Gets too warm… not great waste management. Ceiling leaks. Windows very drafty. Noisy building and thin walls
