Extremely poorly managed building. Shady landlord
Pros
Good layout. Spacious. Good outdoor space (balcony)
Cons
Flimsy construction. Incredibly shoddy windows that have broken 5-6 times over the years (currently broken and nobody is responding to fixing them for over a year). Insufficient heat. No insulation because the windows. They also tried to raise my rent $900 a month on a two year lease once, which is now an illegal practice.
Advice to the owners
Be responsive. Be responsible.
Safe and Affordable
Pros
I like that the super and porter live on-site, so if you need something, you can get immediate resolutions. Also like that there is laundry on-site, and generally not crowded.
Cons
I dislike that some of the windows are old and not properly sealed, so they leak heat. Also dislike that the walls are thin: I can hear my neighbors through the bathroom cabinet, as well as anyone talking in the hallway. Wish there was better sound insulation.
Advice to the owners
