Ah copy. Well there can't be that many more left. She did tell me that there were 80 applications before mine and my process took about 2-3 weeks to process after she made that comment.

The only thing that I am certain of is that the 3 bedrooms are gone from the 50% market.
The building is huge even though it looks small on the inside and the tenants that I ran into were all extremely nice.

They’ve definitely been moving really fast, especially compared to other buildings.

The parking spaces is $400 for a car, $500 for an SUV, $550 for a luxury vehicle but there’s a discount since it’s owned by a third party company.

There are discounts though.

The building so far I think a lot of the pet owners are nasty. They leave poop on the steps by the second floor and I saw urine by the elevator this evening. The carpet in the hallway is cracking and already has poop stains.

They moved in people who were formerly homeless, ex convicts and I believe other people in programs who are not the tenants in a specific amount of allotted apartments, but are the subletters (those apartments belong to the social services programs that get funding when they place their clients in “supportive housing”). A lot of those I’ve seen in these programs leave a lot to be desired.

The super Earl smokes in the building even though he himself likes to tell other tenants that they can’t smoke which is hypocritical to me.

The elevators tend to go out of service frequently when the porters are taking out the trash which tends to be between 5 pm and 7 pm (times tenants or subletters are coming back from work or school). So there tends to be a large crowd waiting for an elevator to go up even though there are three elevators in the building.

The doormen are all pretty cool, no problems with them.

Tenants can be selfish with the bellhop and not return it as a courtesy for other tenants to use which can be a pain in the ass if you have heavy things you need to transport to your apartment.

Some of the white tenants can be passive aggressive if you’re a person of color. They can tend to hold their bags or wallets closely or not hold the door open for you when you’re coming in. Another frequent thing I notice is that they’ll avoid going in the elevator with you if it’s just you and them waiting to go in it.

The second floor exit/entrance has a nasty urine odor because a lot of tenants with pets allow their dogs to urinate in the vestibule (this is the exit/entrance that leads to Union street).

Tenants don’t properly discard their garbage/package boxes and allow spills from liquids in their trash bags to flood the floor of the refuse room which makes it stink, makes the floor sticky and gives the workers more work to do.

There are a couple of other things I can add but it’s late. In fact you’ll probably notice the things I mentioned above if you have moved in or will be moving in.

That’s in reference to market rate.
