Great location right by the train, great neighborhood, pretty good amount of space for the cost, friendly neighbors (tenants' union), pretty quiet in the evening, pet friendly. A good place to be for a couple lease terms if you can ignore enough of the issues

Unresponsive super/management, poor pest control (and poor garbage management leading to exacerbated pest problems), elevators break down almost weekly, frequent package theft (no resolution despite cameras being installed). Heat is ON when it's on but also inconsistent, and radiators leak heavily (super never responds to our multiple asks to fix). Laundry in basement is rarely usable—facilities are rarely cleaned or overseen for pests, machines break often, super usually keeps large dogs down there too or just outside so expect to be barked at. Back courtyard area and basement has slowly turned into a dog kennel, lots of waste left uncleaned. Sometimes building ownership does not pay the gas bill so we all get warnings from National Grid about shut-offs

Clean the building more often (the whole building, not just the lobby). Respond to tenant complaints. Pay the building's National Grid bill on time so all of us tenants can stop getting shut-off warnings.

Very close to express subway stop, very easy to get into city as long as the F is running, really beautiful building, the unit I lived in had parquet wood floors , plaster details and lots of closet space

At some point the whole front area of building became a dog run, any vegetation out front was wiped out by dog waste, sometimes you would have to step over it in entryway

Crack down on the the people who are letting their dogs crap all over this beautiful building
