Nice building, thin walls
Pros
The building is on a quiet, pretty block. Maintenance is consistent and reliable, and the landscaping is kept neat. In the 2 years I've lived here, the few maintenance issues I've had were fixed promptly (upstairs neighbor's clogged shower leaked into my bathroom).
Cons
The walls are thin. It's easy to hear my upstairs neighbor's dog running around or scratching at its kennel, and in the bathroom I can hear my next door neighbor's conversations or music through the wall. There was some work on the building that seems to have been done well, refacing the facade and redoing balconies, but it took a very very long time, and the scaffolding sat for weeks or even months at a time, seemingly unused. It seems to be mostly done now, though.
Advice to the owners
Use contractors who will get jobs done quickly, when needed.
