Okay if you're on a budget

This is a great building to live in if you want to live in the city but have a modest income. For this reason, yes there are a few shady residents, but most people in this building are nice, and keep to themselves. Variety of demographics: yuppies, elderly, families, all ages races and orientations. The plumbing is old and probably never replaced from the 50's therefore dishwashers and washer/dryers can't be installed. I guess a few units have dishwashers and are grandfathered in. As for the hammering and noise, this has been true also. When the building went condo, only the common areas were remodeled, therefore some units are in "original condition" and new residents remodel. The hallways are poorly venilated and have an odor. The building is post war and not terribly attractive, but if you're creative and can come up with remodeling money, you can make your place nice. The neighborhood is great and you can't beat living this close to the lake.
