About what you’d expect from a management company and a pre war building
Pros
Roof view is lovely. Rents are relatively reasonable for the area. The apartments themselves are more or less spacious, good light. Location is great, super close to lots of trains.
Cons
Old appliances and fixtures. Management fixes things in a timely manner if you ask, but not to a particular thigh standard — basically just enough to consider it fixed. Heating pipes are loud but you tune it out after a while. Not always the cleanest in the hallways.
Advice to the owners
You need higher quality appliances and fixtures, and you need to invest in calling actual quality repair people who will fix things well enough that they stay working, rather than fixes them just enough to get through until it breaks again.
Very responsive management
Pros
Management is super responsive. Building is generally clean and well maintained, great for the price, but sometimes trash builds up a lot outside
Cons
Rats outside, never seen one in the building or had a problem with it but maybe don’t go into the trash area at night
Advice to the owners
maybe some more rat bait outside, but our apartment is clean and again management very responsive to needs so applaud for that
