Apt looks nice at first glance, but you WILL regret living here.
Former Tenant
Pros:
Good natural light. Close to trains and the hubbub street, Broadway. Nice coffee shop near by. The roof access is nice I guess.
Cons:
I deeply regret living here.

Ceiling Leak —> The 3rd floor and 2nd floor of this building leak anytime there is a slight rain. Landlords won’t fix. They were made aware in October, and it is April.

Infestation --> There is an ant infestation in all 3 buildings. Seems to be carpenter ants, which is probably tied to the ceiling leaks. One of the apartments has roaches. Management is aware and will not pay for an exterminator. They were made aware 6 weeks ago about the infestation.

Noise Bleed —> The noise bleed is insane. The street itself is quiet, but the walls are absurdly thin. I can hear my roommate if he exhales too loudly, and I can hear the 3rd floor neighbor talking on her phone in Spanish. Don’t even think about having any parties if someone lives below you.

Landlord Negligence —> The Landlords are negligent and the building manager seems to be semi-incompetent (but nice.) If anything needs to be repaired, even if it is absolutely urgent, you need to send multiple back to back emails to get them to respond. If they respond, they will send someone to “look at it”, but nothing actually gets fixed.

Regarding the leaking ceilings on 3rd and 2nd floor -- the super lied and said “he needed to look at the 3rd floor to fix this”, when the 2nd floor tenant knew that he already did that, and that was not the issue. He was called out on the spot, and he changed his story about the issue. After radio silence for 2 weeks, they "looked at the roof", and made repairs. The leaks were as bad as ever after these repairs, and the repair job on the roof was absolutely atrocious.

Mold —> One of the tenants found mold in the bathroom which was repaired (shockingly). It is only a matter of time before the moisture trapped in the roof/ceiling causes more mold.

Possible Sexism/Racism --> In email chains to the landlords, they only respond/address the white male on the lease. The black female has been ignored and removed from email threads multiple times.
Advice to owner:
When you don't fix issues promptly, things get exponentially worse. The infestation is directly tied to the leaking ceiling.
