    Don't live here
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    the apartment size was very large
    Cons:
    Moved into apartment. baby water bugs coming out of tub, a mouse was discovered first month. water damage in the second month, never fixed, mold forming, never taken care of. roach infestation, never taken care of. more and more mold kept growing. nothing done to fix it.
    basement has been leaking for over a month causing a large puddle you have to tip toe around to do laundry
    Advice to owner:
    get things done when they need to and stop cutting corners
    Over 2 years ago
    Just moved in here
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    - close to the train
    -spacious apts
    Cons:
    -landlord paints over everything, the thick layers of paint make it difficult to close doors
    Advice to owner:
    Find a better method to paint

    Cute, Quiet, but.. occasional roaches.
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great area, no issues with noise, super is very responsive. That’s about it.
    Cons:
    Management took 47 months (hyperbole) to fulfill ANY request that the super can’t do himself.

    I saw cockroaches in the hallways and basement... there was a bed bug issue on almost all the floors. The pest issue is so bad there is a blank sign up sheet in the lobby where you would write down your unit and they have an exterminator come and ‘service’ it, twice a month.

    Laundry sucks, one machine was always broken. The ones that work weren’t great. Only two washers / two dryers for entire building. Coin operated. And.. as mentioned.. roaches in the basement where the laundry is.

    WAY over priced and management is not willing to work with you.. even during covid. They don’t care about tenants / keeping tenants at all. They know the buildings they have are not great & don’t want to negotiate with a renter that they know will leave in the next year to find something better.
    Advice to owner:
    Fulfill service requests more promptly. Get an EFFECTIVE exterminator. Inspect apartments on floors with issues with bugs / roaches. It is a beautiful building, but it is not clean or kept well aside from mopping once a week.

    New laundry machines that are card operated. So unnecessary to use coins on old broken machines.
