1/10 would not recommend
Pros
3rd floor has excellent views of the city through the bay window, but it's soon to be obstructed by the massive building being constructed across the street.
Cons
horrible cockroach infestation. landlord did not return security deposit until 7 months after my lease end and I had to threaten her with a lawsuit multiple times for her to even respond.
Advice to the owners
sell your real estate assets. you are not responsible nor ethical enough to own and maintain them.
Location is the best part
Pros
Location, other tenants nice
Cons
The landlord is very unresponsive to anything that isn’t what they deem an emergency - Tons of issues with the building itself - personally encountered a broken buzzer (still not fixed), LEAKS (so many leaks) faulty radiator, very very poor plumbing/drainage in general, problems with opening my front door (dangerous for emergencies), hot water has stopped working briefly on occasion. (The building’s handyman that comes to fix things is very kind and usually responsive)
Advice to the owners
I think they are aware of what they are doing / not doing so just do your job and fix things.
