I have debated whether or not to post for a while, but I felt like I needed to add how terrible this building has become. It is in the process of turning condo, so this is a warning to those who are considering buying.

The new management could care less about the current tenants waiting out their leases. It's all about the construction which, like other posters have mentioned, has blocked entrances and elevators, created all kinds of dust and noise, and stopped mail service (without much warning). The construction workers also leave doors open so that anyone can walk into the building. I can't imagine they will care very much about new residents either.

Also, I would warn everyone against buying a place here because the prices are so inflated for the units. They are redoing the lobby and all units, but it seems like it is only on the surface. The building is old and probably needs a lot more work than what they are putting into it. There also is no grocery store nearby and the nearest train is about a mile away.

It is a nice area and I don't regret my time here, but I am so happy I am leaving soon. I feel bad for the elderly residents because they seem like they don't know what they are going to do. Good luck if you decide to move here.
