If you value your peace of mind....DO NOT MOVE HERE I've lived here for almost 4 years and I'm now having to make the most inconvenient but necessary choice to move out of this building. I would first like to say, my landlord is an absolute gem and my decision to move has absolutely nothing to do with him--but with another negligent landlord with tenants who moved in this year with dogs that they not only neglect, but one of which is violent. Also, these same tenants have the floor that we live on smelling like a dirty kennel as there are several potty stains from their dogs on our floor that have not been cleaned. They also would leave soiled dog pads in the trash room on our floor--which, some days would be left for days. My dog was bitten by one of the neighbors dogs. This same dog has approached my dog before the bite incident, but no one was injured that time. I was told by that dog's owner that the dog "doesn't bite". Well, that's unfortunately untrue. My dog had to get surgery. Her dog suffered no injuries as my dog didn't defend himself against the attacking dog. This same neighbor has her dogs on flimsy leashes, which she nor the other adult living in the unit are able to properly control. They live in front of the elevator on our floor and can be often heard scratching, crying, wrestling each other, breathing heavily at the door--and once the door is opened, one or both are running through the hallway. These dogs don't get walked very often...and I've been told that the owners of said dogs can't be taken on walks together because "they don't get along". The same dog who bit mine, growled at my daughter (who is the one that broke up the attack) days after the initial attack. A few days later, the same violent dog broke out of the apartment and was running through our hallway. The day after that, the occupants of that unit had their apartment door wide open while having an conversation. I escalated the issue to the Property Manager, who told me he would "handle it asap". That was about 2 weeks ago. This past Saturday, I emailed the Property Manager again to let him know that the same dogs and the male adult of that unit were in the hallway and when my daughter encountered them, the male tenant was struggling to put the dogs in the apartment--he puts the dog that we've never had an issue with in the apartment first and left the violent dog in the hallway with my daughter. I've made the suggestion to both the landlord of that unit and the property manager of the building that the violent/aggressive dog needs to be harnessed and muzzled when in common areas. Neither of them have addressed that issue and these neighbors continue to be not only negligent, but very poor examples of what being a neighbor actually is. My daughter and I are now carrying pepper spray each time we leave our apartment. This entire situation has caused me much anxiety as I feel unsafe in this environment as of late--AND it's filthy on my floor now. It has become increasingly dysfunctional during my time here--and it's time for me to move on. This is not the once peaceful living experience I once had. While it's fixable, the fact that none of the individuals who are supposed to be responsible to address these issues are actually addressing them, I have no choice but to move on--and at this point good riddance. The elevator has been broken for month with no repair in site. Maybe once the ONE functioning elevator breaks down (again), they'll send in a repair person. Meanwhile, I've been reporting the smell and stains on the carpet in our hallway along with the dog feces being left by those same negligent neighbors FOR MONTHS and again, nothing has been done. 0/10 would not recommend moving here if you value living in a safe, peaceful and well-maintained environment. 1001 doesn't have it and the management doesn't care. read more

After not being home for a week, I came back to find one of my video games missing. Being one to retrace my steps I tore up the apartment looking for it (to no avail) eventually I got annoyed and just went to bed. I'd never turned switched HDMI cables so my tv was stuck on the silent blue screen until I ended up waking. I was woken up by a knock. Since I wasn't expecting anyone (they have a front desk person) I just ignored it and rolled over. Then I hear my front door unlock which completely threw me off. I lie still for a few seconds and no sooner than their foot is over the threshold, I popped up like something out of The Exorcist. The employee (Eric) asks me "What's up man?" I say "Nothing. Just woke up." And I guess the look on my face was enough because he volunteers that "One of my neighbors underneath me had just called with a noise complaint. I tell him "I've been sleep for the eight hours or so. So it definitely wasn't me." He then asks me "You good yo?" and I say "Yeah. Was visiting family but I'm back now" and then he leaves. Now I'm not Batman or anything but it dawned on me to call the front desk and ask which neighbor has called down . He replies "Oh I don't even know. You know I try not to talk to these people unless I have to." This still didn't sit right with me so I come downstairs and the video game that was missing, he's downstairs playing. I ask him "Oh damn. You got GTA too? Fun as **** right? I was having a blast playing but for some strange reason I can't find my copy." *insert therapist pause* He then says "Yeah, it's ard. Oh this is (his brother who works there's) game. The next day I took every spare key I had from downstairs where the front desk/maintenance has access. I let Louis Panos (Thornhill Properties manager), a member of the board who lived in the building, and the front desk supervisor all know what transpired and NO ONE saw to it that anything happened. My landlord didn't change the lock so for the remainder of my time there I just had to hope it didn't happen again. It's for this reason that I cannot recommend this building or any of Thornhill Properties' buildings. I won't even start on my DSLR that was stolen from my godfather's unit when they came to fix his A/C. read more

This historic elevator building is well-kept and filled with wonderful, friendly people. The front desk is staffed 24/7 for packages and other conveniences. Amazing views from rooftop patio. Loved living here! read more

Pros: -secure entrance -roof top patio with 24/h access (watch out for roaches at night) -water included in rent -nice views -close food stores -good location -access to public transit Cons: -elevators broken often, usually once a week, certificate usually expired -when working, elevators frequently smell of marijuana/liquor -roaches in laundry room sometimes, enough to make me go to the laundromat instead -high tenant turnover, chaotic, overcrowded studios with entire families for small periods -more units rented than owner-occupied -poor school district -water frequently turned off for repairs, estimated once a month (once was left off for entire night because no one in charge would bother to access it to turn it back on until the following day) -basement store charges extra, imaginary sales taxes on food items & alcohol -when power goes out (it does often) emergency lights quickly fail -loose pet owning policies (vary by landlord) resulting in many loud, noisy dogs -drafty, old windows, leading to high heating bills in winter -trash on rooftop terrace rarely taken out -trash occasionally builds up for days, smells -roaches appearing at night at rooftop deck -frequent drug use on rooftop terrace -desk person delivers packages to door early on sunday mornings even though packages are supposed to be signed for and collected by tenants at desk, resulting in being woken up early on weekends -ppl who work there park illegally in the loading zone so that tenants can't use it for unloading -bed bugs: found one bed bug during lease period, but this is not surprising with different tenants moving in and out so much. by seeing one, i expect there are more. This place has big perks, but it has negatives. If the cons don't bother you, and if you are able to get the price you'd expect to pay for this quality of living, then u might see 3-4 stars. The rental prices vary according to unit and landlord (for buying, they are about the same across), so you might end up paying a huge price in rent, expecting much higher quality of living. The landlords vary in quality, too, so this affects the living situation. Your satisfaction depends on the deal you find. I have experienced better for the price I paid, hence 2 stars. read more
