Affordable Spacious Sunny
Pros
Affordable and spacious units. Great location. Good street parking. Reliable services and Amenities. Nice quite neighborhood.
Cons
Noise of neighbors above and below unit is regularly intrusive and irritating. Poor building ventilation systems leads to basement odors and musty bathrooms. Old piping results in regular water leaks in bathroom and kitchen. Maintenance and repair work is hasty and subpar. Building design and decor is outdated and unflattering.
Advice to the owners
Insulate floor space between units. Upgrade ventilation system. Upgrade building pipes. Hire skilled contractors who take pride in their work. Upgrade and update building common areas.
The units are probably not worth it
Pros
The units are enormous with gorgeous floors and huge windows. You get a ton of natural light. Theres a good laundry room with plenty of machines and a locked mail room so we havent had issues with stolen packages (yet).
Cons
The building is hardly ever cleaned. I have seen the rugs in the hallway cleaned once in the last 3 months. Our unit has had roaches even though we are insanely clean. Its definitely due to the cleaniness of the rest of the building which is heavily lacking. Theres also no ventilation in the halls so if someones cooking, it does tend to fill the hot humid halls, and linger because of the rugs. The elevators also look beaten and dirty. We've also had an incident of the laundry room being vandalized, resulting in it being shut down for several days.
Advice to the owners
Please just clean the building! It has so much potential, its sad to see it not managed well.
