Great Apartment, No Frills
Former Tenant
Pros:
Very clean building and well kept over time. All neighbors are extremely respectful of each other, keeping packages safe, etc. Any time we’ve opened a maintenance ticket, we’re reached out to within hours (sometimes minutes!) to schedule something. All supers have been sweet and helpful, and the management company has been great.
Cons:
There can occasionally be strong pet odors in the hallway. One neighbor is specifically very nosy and will catch you in the hallway and trap you into conversation. Our unit specifically has very tall ceilings so A/C and heat got pricey at times.
Advice to owner:
Nothing - amazing job with this building!

The worst apartment building I’ve lived in
Former Tenant
Pros:
Nothing really. Walk up was fine
Cons:
So many things. Listed below in advice
Advice to owner:
Get cameras, actually check apartments before tenants move in so they’re clean, deal with prompt issues like smells (never resolved), help to better deal with noise complaints, etc.
