Check rent history before becoming a roommate
Pros
The super is attentive to cleanliness of the building. In some mornings he’s out making sure that everything is sorted in the trash and he’s literally on top of it. The building is close to the train and right across from police that literally stay outside the Jewish Temple off the Kingston 3.
Cons
There are rent stabilized units all too willing to have you move in and exploit you. The entire building except 3 units are renovated. If you walk in to a unit and it’s not updated and it’s dusty it’s stabilized and it’s less than 1500 a month. I fell for one hook line and sinker to find that I was paying 93% of the total bill. People with stabilizations get unhinged when they are found out. Don’t rent unless you’re on the management company’s lease. Find out all this information before leaving your place. Go to just fix.org to find out the rent history if you already live in one of the units in the building. I accidentally left things in the apartment and never retrieved them even after reaching out. I sent a text to apt 9 and they did not respond. DO NOT MOVE IN TO THESE APARTMENTS.
Advice to the owners
Audit your renters. You may get your rent but they are scamming people illegally.
this place sucks
Pros
The size, sunlight, aesthetic, separate kitchen, very sweet super
Cons
Pests, loud neighbors, unsafe mail area, no laundry nearby, feels like our place is being held up by plaster, we can’t hang shelves because of fragile walls
