Respectful neighbors but terrible building condition
Pros
Friendly neighbor’s that look out for each other even to make sure you get your mail or packages. Quite place that each apartment is respectfully with their noise and understand that it’s an old building.
Cons
Poor maintenance of building. No camera or security so crazy person can enter building. No laundry room. Stairs only and only at one direction. No back yard access so if there is a fire you will be stuck being in the back of building. Owner has a lot of violations and doesn’t want to repair or fix the issues. Tiredness calls to the office to fix apartment issues and building, no answer from them. Property don’t care and want to kick tents out. Hot water and heat is always an issues all year round. If they send someone to fix an issue it would be after 3 years only for a temp fix that will break after 3 days. There rats running around building and beg bugs coming out of the floors, walls, and any open hole.
Advice to the owners
Fix violation and remodel building because it falling apart. No need to kick tents out. Improve office communication with tenants. Repair repair issues that need to be taken care of like hot water and heat.
Decent Bulding with Small Renovated Apartments
Pros
Elevator, renovations, location, neighbors, inexpensive rent.
Cons
Noise outside from construction across the street in two directions. Courtyard near garbage is a disaster and heaping piles everywhere. Basement is dirty and not well-maintained. Laundry facility in basement is not great to use with machines sometimes not working and no clean space. Heat is on too high and not controllable. Repairs are hard to come by and there’s no live in super.
Advice to the owners
Courtyard and basement should be renovated for better communal use. Response should be quicker and more thorough for repairs.
