Lived here happily for 5+ years
Former Tenant
Pros:
Management is super responsive. A handy man would always come to fix any issue same day if within business hours or within 24 hours. There’s no live in super but honestly work gets done much faster regardless. They’re also not picky about what they’re responsible to repair. Management is very fair and lenient overall. Stairwell is very large which makes moving furniture in and out easier. Quality of the apartment (appliances, wood work, etc) was high. Also there are fire alarms in the hallway’s and stairwells which is great. I’m not sure what code is for this but my other buildings in the city did not have fire alarms outside of the apartments. I would still be living at this apartment if I hadn’t decided to move to a one bedroom and no longer have roommates. Management was very understanding and allowed me to break my lease early with forfeit of the security deposit rather than making me pay additional months rent or find replacement. No other charges were made.
Cons:
The trash is kept in the lobby of the building so you’re always greeted with piles of garbage and smells when you come home at the end of the day. It’s maintained regularly but still builds up quickly. The building also has no buzzer which can be a real pain for getting packages and having guests over. There were one or two instances when we did not have heat during winter months but I believe it was an issue of the city’s local infrastructure rather than the building. 
Advice to owner:
Have trash kept in the court yard and have a simple buzzer system installed.
