Great management, but paper-thin walls and nonstop noise
The new management is great, but the building is really horrible to live in. The walls are paper-thin, we can hear almost every conversation from our neighbors, especially during quite hours, even when they’re speaking normally. There are a lot of Airbnbs in the building, including our next door; large groups often show up and party until 3 a.m. It’s impossible to escape the noise, even with our bedroom door closed. There’s also a room on the first floor that’s frequently rented out for public... events, it gets super loud, and you often come home to strangers crowding the hallway and lobby while loud music blares across the whole floor. The main entry door is often left unlocked, so people can walk in without buzzing, which raises real security concerns. If you’re sensitive to noise or safety, I highly recommend not moving here.
