Everything here is bad
Pros
Rooftop, convenient location
Cons
We saw cockroaches once every few days despite meticulous cleaning and leaving no food out. We had extermination services and used baits. There are mice in the unit now and we live on the upper floors. Leaks from rain, unresponsive management, terribly maintained, terrible support when issues arise, just avoid at all costs. It is not worth the constant stress. You get close to fixing one issue only for another to present itself around the corner, and you can’t really fix anything because the pest issues are building wide.
Advice to the owners
Be more proactive in preventing infestations and make sure the building is properly maintained. Maintain good communication with tenants
Better Options Out
Pros
The building is full of friendly people and the neighborhood is nice. Close to transportation.
Cons
Building is not well kept. Lobby and hallways are not well kept. Access system is horrible. Endless issues with stolen packages and intruders. Onsite super is not helpful. Windows don't open for easy clean and the owners don't assist. After a while they get so dirty you can barely see out adn have to clean them yourself. Old heating system constantly making noise. No onsite amenities except washer and dryers in the basement where the elevator door barely allows you to get out in the basement. Dead roaches in the basement everywhere.
Advice to the owners
If you are going to charge renters so much for the apartment, provide some upkeep.
