Pros: 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 Cons: 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 Advice to landlord: 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.

Unit C5 Pros: 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 Cons: 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 Advice to landlord: Crack down on the the people who are letting their dogs crap all over this beautiful building

Pros: Big apartments, high ceilings, rent stabilized. Rent is decent for the space you get. Cons: Roaches, ants, hot water is not regulated. Meaning, the water is piping hot in the winter when the heater is on. And the flow can change to piping hot water with no warning. Floors are squeaky and have holes in them from separating. Management is very unresponsive. Super is lazy. People loitering outside every day and make noise. Elevators are old and break down often. Heaters leak. Walls are thin and noise and smells travel. Front of building is dirty with poop and piss on the “lawn”. No ramp to get into the building. Laundry room is scary and the machines don’t wash well and overcharge. Advice to landlord: Be more responsive. Get rid of the pests. Fix the hot water problem. Redo the floors. Fix the front lawn and control your problem tenants. Buy washers and dryers that aren’t cheap.
