Doing The Bare Minimum for High Rents
Former Tenant
Pros:
The building bricks are solid, doesn’t seem to be crumbling any time soon. Neighbors are somewhat respectful and keep to themselves. Doors work. Windows work.
Cons:
Biggest problems are inconsistency in cleaning and lack of security. Building often feels unsafe. Security system is archaic and barely works. Random people ring the bell and because the “virtual doorman” camera is blurry and the speaker system stopped working, we don’t know if it’s a delivery, a crackhead or kids playing around with the bell.
Sometimes people find their way from off the street or onto the roof and there is no way to scare trespassers from trespassing. No cameras anywhere except for the nice neighbors on the first floors ring light, but that has limited visibility to the rest of the building. Due to lack of security delivery packages get stolen often if we don’t run down soon as they arrive, making it difficult to leave for the day or work from home.
The building hallways and stairs are full of dust, especially the stairs leading up to the roof which surely trickles the dust down to the rest of the building regularly.
The heat hasn’t been turned on some of the coldest days this winter. Water pressure has been low past couple of weeks.
Grateful for the laundry room, but that too is full of dust. Gross’ me out to drop anything on the floor by mistake, especially when transferring wet clothes to the dryer, because of the dirt.

Advice to owner:
Please update virtual doorman for both buildings. Please install a security camera in both building lobbies. Please install a sensor light and camera on the roof. Please answer emails in regard to security and disturbances on the roof.

good not great
Former Tenant
Pros:
neighbors are nice, water pressure is great and water is hot very quickly, landlord responds to requests pretty quickly
Cons:
heat is way stronger in lobby than in unit, it’s only on a few times a day had to buy a space heater. have issues with packages getting stolen, there are no cameras in the building anywhere and they refuse to install them which is weird. currently our buzzer is broken so you can’t buzz anyone into the building which also causes issues with package deliveries. had issues with mice and cockroaches when I first moved in but they patched all the holes in my unit and haven’t had problems since.
