    Wouldn’t recommend living here
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Fairly good price, decent washer and driers
    Cons:
    Terrible neighbors, awful landlord, pests, loss of hot water at least a few times per month, mail constantly stolen, always people smoking in the stairwell
    Advice to owner:
    Find a different career

    Not worth it
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    It’s a beautiful street lined with trees, near the subway and many local shops and food spots and the apartment was spacious. The super and porter are truly so kind and do the best they can!
    Cons:
    There is a huge pest issue that they do not manage well. The trash in the hallway does not help the issue. Major plumbing issues that cause leakages and management does nothing about it. The management does not pick up calls or respond to emails. They treat the porter and super just as badly as they treat the tenants.

    Up and down
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Super tries to maintain a clean building, neighbors are friendly
    Cons:
    Pest control is almost nonexistent
    Packages get stolen and management takes days to review cameras

    Looks Nice at First Glance
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Spacious living room and master bedroom
    Cons:
    Our apartment alone had multiple issues with leaks, broken window frames, doors falling off hinges, blocked vents, and more all within less than six months of being here. Have to ask the super multiple times to get things fixed. Heat doesn't come up unless you ask the super to turn it on. Water constantly changes temperature within just 5 mins of being in the shower. Very unclean laundy room. Constant water bugs and trash all over the floors. At one point a laundry machine was constantly flooding the laundry room and landlords refused to fix for over a month. Haven't seen an exterminator since I've been here.
    Advice to owner:
    Don't even know where to begin. Please just look into your building and apartments... Especially with the amount you charge for rent....

    Overworked staff, infested building, no efforts for improvement
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Really nice porter and super. Chris and Hernan were the best part of the building. Genuinely interested in helping however they could with the abhorrent resources they were given. Laundry in the building was nice too.
    Cons:
    The building, especially my apartment was infested with roaches and bugs from the moment we moved in. No matter how often the exterminator came, the bugs never went away. Management did absolutely nothing to fix it, IF we could get a hold of them. In the two years I lived there, I saw the building manager Eli once. He never answered a single email and lied to our faces about his knowledge of the leaks happening in our ceiling. They took our money and did nothing to improve the condition of the property. All tenants efforts to beautify the place were met with skepticism and indifference.
    Advice to owner:
    Clean the property, pay your staff a living wage, and give them the proper resources to do their jobs right. They’re overworked, underpaid, and they take the brunt of your negligence. Take some pride in the building and make sure you’re not renting out hazardous units.
