Quick comments from a broker
A broker visiting a relative had some brief comments about the building.
The halls smelled. I can think of four reasons since cooking was not involved. 1) Outside odors which can be a problem from time to time. 2) Washing of the floors is needed. 3) Grease traps are not cleaned in some units and the odor enters the hallways. Having cleaned the grease traps, I have sensed this odor from time to time in some halls. 4) Out gassing from the drains. There has never been a full and complete explanation and guidance as far as regularly running water down the drains if not a full-time resident. The floor drain in the bathroom also needs special attention by full-time residents, too.
Elevator flooring. I have written about the sad condition of the elevators and the backwards works being done. The flooring was also written about as far as its history. Go to other buildings reflecting on what we got from Meridien/Century Properties.
Lobby uninviting. Yes, I believe a large part of this is the lack of seating. I had posted photos of the bench seating that was taken away.
Amenities. The Resident's Lounge is not a resident's lounge. True, there is a large table and it is often used for Board meetings we are not allowed to witness and other staff meetings.
If I were an interested buyer of a unit in your building (Soho Central), would you still recommend that I push through with it? Thanks for any additional info you may give me.
ReplyDeleteI would ask many questions and then make a decision based upon all factors and your own wishes. No one can decide for another since each person has their own circumstances.
