24/8/24
Building constantly shakes from being close to highway.
The building is very quiet. Views facing south are some of the best in the city. Units themselves were nice enough (I’m actually going to miss my huge bathroom). But what they probably won’t warn you about is that since the building is so old, there is no infrastructure to counter the intense vibrations from the highway directly north. May not be as noticeable on lower floors, but in my 6th floor unit it was a literal 24/7 issue for my entire lease. It never once stopped. You can hear glass... light fixtures rattle, my computer screens shake, and I’ve had to rearrange dishes in cabinets so I wouldn’t hear them constantly rattling against each other.
If you tour, I highly recommend taking a few minutes to stand still in the unit. Bring a bottle of water. If you see vibrations in the water with it sitting on the counter, imagine feeling that every moment you’re trying to relax. If you WFH it’s unbearable.
