    Not bad save for a few kinks
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    In unit laundry and dishwasher, maintenance has always been relatively responsive (do have to reach out to them on multiple channels though), LL usually responses within a day or two on requests and questions. There is a free exterminator who comes every month. Garbage management was good. Rooms facing the inside/alley have great noise reduction.
    Cons:
    Heating was a mess at times. In the winter the boiler broke probably 5 times leaving us with no heat, and it would take a day to fix. Then the heat would be on really high at times or when the outdoor temp was at 60+ which made it super hot inside with no way to turn it off.
    No doorman or mailroom protection - not a huge issue but had one package stolen.

    Towards the end we had a roach problem probably because of people moving in and out, told maintenance and they ignored us
    Advice to owner:
    Figure out the boiler/hearing issue, this was the only thing besides non-controllable factors that made me want to move

    i liked living here
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    good location, noise isn't bad but it is close to the fire department/hospital so sometimes there are sirens, pretty communicative property owners, pretty clean
    Cons:
    sometimes heating got a little annoying - either very hot or stopped working, but management worked on it quickly

    Gets the job done
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location, in unit laundry, and apartment is pretty spacious for the price, we personally haven’t had pests or noise issues
    Cons:
    Management could be more responsive, indoors could use some cleaning/upgrading to look a little nicer. No doorman/virtual doorman
    Advice to owner:
    Be more responsive, make sure the inside is cleaned up

    Decent building but horrible management
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    - affordable
    - some nice neighbors
    - lots of sunlight because south facing has unobstructed views
    - amazing location
    Cons:
    - package thieves in the building
    - no operating cameras in any hallways of the building
    - rooftop is alarmed and the alarm went off at least once every other week
    - severe cockroach problem throughout the building
    - straight across the street from assisted income housing so there were ambulance and police sirens 2-5x a night
    Advice to owner:
    Please pay more attention to pest control as well as making sure that cameras are set up at least by the mailbox area.

    Dead mice in the hallways
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location was nice
    Cons:
    Well, there were multiple dead mice on our hallway staircase on multiple occasions. Ceiling leaked from the tenants above us and our wall paint came off - dropped onto all my belongings. Oven, stove and washer + dryer all broke two days into moving in.
    Advice to owner:
    Think about if you wanted to live there
