    Old building, interesting units
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Washer/dryer is in the basement. Rent is reasonable for the area. The units are interesting and non traditional because the building used to be a piano factory so the walls are really thick - can’t hear the neighbors
    Cons:
    There are cockroaches. It doesn’t feel clean. Ceilings leak. They’re essentially trying to super glue a really old building. The super is nice but overworked and jobs are often sloppy - esp the ones that are contracted out, eg replacing doors.

    Cockroaches in apartment
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Very convenient location and the super (Efrain) is amazing
    Cons:
    There were multiple cockroaches in our apartment during the summer time.

    Good but not Great
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Apartments are spacious, all of the tenants are friendly and the live in super is hardworking and responsive.
    Cons:
    Landlord is resistant to tenant requests, no package room (things get stolen regularly), conditions in the basement makes using the laundry room more trouble than it’s worth. Walls are paper thin so it can feel noisy at times.
    Advice to owner:
    Be more receptive and approachable - don’t condescend to the tenants.

    Decent Landlord
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great size units. Efrain, the live in super, is very friendly and responsive. The windows are huge.
    Cons:
    Poor customer service from the landlords team. The windows needed to be cleaned.
    Advice to owner:
    Clean the windows and be polite to your tenants on the phone!
