former apartment tenant
Pros
large apartment, nice roof
Cons
roaches, floods, unresponsive super
A building with quirks and perks
Pros
Regular Exterminator Service: One of the positive aspects of living in this building is the regular monthly exterminator service. Although we did experience a minor incident with rats entering the apartment through the heaters. Abundance of Natural Light: The apartments are filled with an abundance of natural light. Landlord: the landlord is generally responsive and takes care of necessary repairs and maintenance. While it may take some time (and sometimes a lot of time) for them to reply, they do eventually address the issues. Location: it's worth mentioning that the building benefits from a vibrant neighborhood. There are numerous great restaurants, bars and cafes in close proximity.
Cons
Gas Heaters and AC: One aspect that could be improved in my building is the performance of the gas heaters. Unfortunately, they are not as efficient as desired, resulting in less effective heating during colder months. I had to purchase electrical heaters as an alternative. And there's no AC in the apartments. Aging Appliances: Another drawback is that the kitchen appliances provided are outdated. While they may still function adequately, their age can sometimes lead to occasional malfunctions or reduced efficiency.
Advice to the owners
Update kitchen appliances, heater system, add central AC.
