Pretty decent apartment
Pros
Nice neighborhood, unit has lots of character character
Cons
Plumbing isn’t great. Shower/toilet clogs are common.
Extreme Water Hammer
Pros
We loved the apartment itself. Cute. Good for roommates. Layout made sense. Was cheap.
Cons
Figured out why it was cheap… main issue being in the winter time the water hammer in this building is unlike anything ever experienced. It would shake the walls all night long and feel like someone was in the room banging on pipes with a hammer. After a few winters of being promised it was fixed, the same would happen over again. Had to get into a long battle with management to get out of the lease. Also had a few mouse/roach problems. A rotating cast of homeless living in the hallway and on the roof. Was an interesting experience. *I would like to add that I have before and since lived in older apartments where radiators make a good bit of noise and this situation is something I wouldn’t wish on anyone.
Advice to the owners
Fix the building.
