Overall very happy
Pros
Love the location. Directly across the street from a grocery store. My unit had a washer / dryer and dishwasher(not every unit does) 9 foot ceilings were a plus and decent sized living room. Every unit is slightly different layout / finishes but mine was super clean. Couldn’t hear any street noise since my apartment was in the back of the building which was a huge plus.
Cons
Management not very responsive but the super is. Radiators are LOUD, but that’s usually a given in older apartment buildings. There is a neighbor on 25th that sits in his backyard and SCREAMS at all hours, police have been called 100s of times but he won’t stop. You can’t hear him in the summer months when you have your AC on, it drowns out the noise. But any of the back facing apartments can hear him when you have your windows open (sometimes even when closed). Have had multiple problems with cockroaches (the tiny ones). Management sends an exterminator randomly and never give a heads up. Have to mail in checks each month for rent. Lived there 3 years and they said they would be changing to online payments the 1st year and then never happened.
Advice to the owners
Be more responsive and update to online payments
Unclean Tenants & Poor Management.
Pros
Building is mostly kept clean. Building has natural light. Neighbors are mostly quiet. Garbage & recycling is regularly collected. Laundry room. Close to everything.
Cons
Elevator is small. Old appliances but modern rent. Broken appliances are replaced with older appliances. Washing Machine & Dryers are sometimes unusable due to needed repair or needed cleaning or just user error making the machine one you don’t want to use. Neighbors are uncleanly often leaving trash around and leaving laundry room/machines in poor condition. Repairs needed to be done are left undone for weeks at a time without any apparent reason and no response from the building. No heat on some cold days. It is often difficult to get into contact with anybody from management to address and issue, concern, or even get a simple question answered.
Advice to the owners
Replace your old & broken appliances with New ones. Fix issues in your building faster. Repairs on anything should not take MONTHS.
