Could be better
Pros
Lived here for over 3 years. Inadequate heats due to old windows and heat pressure. Kitchen hot water is great but bathroom hot water takes abut to warm up. Clean & safe building / neighborhood. Plenty of stores and restaurants. Floors creek ALOT! Can hear neighbors walk above you. Thin walls can hear neighbors. Dog barking can get annoying but does not happen too often. Nice appliances.
Cons
See above comments.
Advice to the owners
Fix your apart floors and windows! Cold comes throw the walls too. May be invest in insulation upgrade.
Gem of an old building, with some typical old building problems
Pros
Most competent live-in super I’ve ever had Apartment had updated fixtures in kitchen/bathroom Nice location/neighborhood Well maintained laundry room and garbage room
Cons
Outdated heating system, made it very hot in the winter Occasionally saw a cockroach and had a mouse come through the radiator vent on one occasion The application process with leasing was absolutely horrific. It took weeks of going back and forth for them to finally approve an application.
Advice to the owners
Update the heating/boiler system and start implementing better pest control. Also, start streamlining the application process for quicker approvals.
