SO much water damage
Former Tenant
Pros:
- Location was convenient
- Pet friendly
- The Super was AMAZING! Responsive, friendly, and always excited to say hello. Always brightened my day
- Backyard space was nice to have, but full of rats so no one used it ever.

Cons:
- Paper thin walls and loud neighbors partying
- I wasn't even on the top floor, but several times had my apartment completely flooded by the windows/cracks
- If it rained, the stairs going from floors 4 to 5 and 6 to the roof were always soaked.
- There was a clear water bulge above my fridge and it was getting bigger. There was a shelf there where I was storing a cardboard box of kitchen stuff and eventually the ceiling touched the box and the box was wet. It looked ready to burst any day. It took me a year and a half to get the landlord to fix it. When he did finally send someone, he'd told the repairman it would only take a couple hours and the poor repairman told me he would need a couple days because once he got into the ceiling, the water damage was so extensive. There was mold in there too. So he finally fixed it, but never came back to paint over it - whatever I was not going back to battle for that. 3 months before I moved out, I noticed once again, water stains on the ceiling in the same spot - so nothing had been actually fixed.
- Very uneven floors. I dropped a battery and watched it roll the length of the apartment
- Poor light
- Honestly it's a miracle this place is still standing it's so dilapidated and literally soggy and the landlord refuses to make repairs.

Old decent building, quiet if you're not facing the street
Former Tenant
Pros:
On-site super, clean, quiet. Pet friendly.
Cons:
Sometimes Amazon package got stolen; saw mice but they disappeared after I sealed the holes; electric bills are pretty high in the winter
Advice to owner:
Better mice control and seal the holes on the ceiling & floor properly.

Location, but not much else.
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location. Backyard space. Pest management is good. Friendly super.
Cons:
I lived in a top floor unit a couple years ago. The apartment itself in terms of space/layout was fine. Not sure what has changed but I had major issues with a leaky roof. Came back once to a worker I didn't know using a sentimental saucepan from my grandma as a container for his dirty paint water. Move out was a disrespectful mess. I met the building manager in person (who wouldn't shake my hand) and informed him of my move-out date. While I was in the process of moving out and while the unit was still under my name, I left for the afternoon and returned to find over $1000 of my stuff in the dumpster/removed from the premises by the worker who was there (too early) to repaint. Not only did I have to go digging through the trash for my belongings and have him fetch the stuff he took (an electric guitar!) from his truck, but I was then yelled at by this guy for leaving stuff in my apartment and fridge, nevermind that he came on the wrong date and the unit was still rightfully mine.
During this time the broker would sometimes send people to look at the unit without accompanying them. Got stuck once or twice showing the unit by myself to a random dude which is kind of a safety concern.
So I'd say if you're young and the only thing that matters is location and you're not gonna be home much, go for it. If you want to live like an adult, be treated like an equal human, and have your space respected, do not move here. Years later I still can't believe this happened and I think tenants deserve to know what they're getting into with this place.

Get competent management.
