Overall Decent Place to Live
Pros
Good neighbors, well maintained building, nice and responsive super
Cons
Cockroaches (they do have monthly exterminator visits), heat is extremely LOUD
No-Longer pet friendly
Pros
Nice location. Garbage management was always good. Really nice light in the apartment. Lived there with partner 2015-2017, partner lived there since 2007. (This app didn’t let me choose accurate dates)
Cons
During my time there the building went from pets allowed to no pets allowed, with renters with existing pets allowed to keep their pets. I was in a rent controlled apartment and had a dog and one puppy that was adopted just before the notice of the new policy. Super noticed our new dog and approached my partner, asked for $500 to keep quiet or he would notify the landlord. We didn’t want to pay it, or want to be blackmailed every time super needed cash, so we left. Loved the area, had nice neighbors who knew my partner’s family well. Greedy super couldn’t fix our bathroom or anything we needed done but he had the time to blackmail us over a dog. No longer have the apartment that was rent controlled for 5+ years and it’s probably rented for much more now.
Advice to the owners
People love their pets. Revert back to the old system and do something about your super.
