This building is literally falling apart
Pros
Like my apt layout, hallways were cleaned weekly, super major problems were fixed by management if you bug them.
Cons
Had cockroaches, took over a month of emails to get management to send over professional pest control and not just some guy. 6 months later, they've come back because they were in the ceiling and there's a crack where they drop onto my bed. Most emails never get responded to. Walls are super super thin. Front door breaks every few months to lock you in the building. A neighbors ceiling literally collapsed and wasn't fixed for a few days. My shower was apparently flooding the downstairs apartment and management told them it was because we hadn't been using a shower curtain, which was clearly false. One of my walls "sheds" from water damage and I don't even care about fixing that because it's by far not the worst problem.
Advice to the owners
Your monthly exterminators should actually spray the apartments instead of walking in and out. Fix problems instead of lying about them.
Decent but not great building
Pros
Good location Not terribly expensive Good amount of space for the price Charming older building with exposed brick Management is relatively quick to respond
Cons
No central heat or ac Heat often goes out in the winter due to a faulty boiler. They are pretty quick to fix it but with the frequency that it happens it is definitely a factor Had minor issues with cockroaches and mice.
