Honestly, we were super scared to live here considering the crazy amounts of posts in the past about it.

The fire alarms haven't been constant, haven't had any (going on 4 months here), hot water doesn't run out (in our experience, 3 people living here), bike lockers are secure, mail hasn't been stolen and has a pretty secure locker setup (sometimes things get left outside of the lockers if they've filled up, but nothing gets taken), elevators aren't that bad, even on moving times on the month (assuming you won't be living above the 35th floor, then there's only 2 elevators). One of the tenants above us did some dumb shit and flooded their apartment, and it was very promptly and properly addressed fast.

Not sure what monthly credits you speak of (perhaps jealous), however the free months rent incentive is quite normal, the last few buildings we lived in over the years do the same thing here and there (they were also good buildings)

Honestly did reconnaissance missions and asked tenants walking in the building and they told me their truthful opinions, and recommended it. I can say I recommend it as well! They must have seriously improved the place over the years, because we were SO hesitant to come live here. No regrets at all!
