    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Hardwood floors, nice detailing, renovated kitchen in some units, big windows
    Cons:
    Building is old - exterminator comes 1x/month but occasional bugs are often seen in the lobby.

    Loud neighbors shouting on a regular basis

    Packages get stolen regularly since front door does not always lock.

    Please make the effort to maintain the building.
