“Unit E Pros: The building has laundry machines in the basement and building management/maintenance is fairly responsive. Cons: Basement units are susceptible to roaches and sometimes leaks during periods of heavy rain. Advice to landlord: More thorough mold inspections and/or building seals to keep basement units dry.”

★★★★★Apr 2021

“Pros: Overall this building is great. I lived here for 1.5 years never saw a roach or mouse. The appliances are slightly outdated but as long as you don’t mind they work and are good enough. The super is very responsive if they don’t answer right away they will respond within an hour and have great communication. Cons: Heat is electric which is nice but I felt cold throughout the winter. The cold air comes right through the window. Also occasionally if my shower went for around 30 minutes the water would start to get old. Advice to landlord: Apartments could be updated. But overall building for the price is great.”
