I had friends who lived here several years ago who loved the building: charming 1950s detailing, spacious layouts, responsive landlady. Unfortunately, the management has since changed and I no longer think that the attractive apartments are worth the cost. 

When you sign the lease, prepare to pay two-months' rent as a security deposit. You will also pay several hundred dollars towards (previously undisclosed) fees. All of this seemed corporate from the get-go (especially from a relatively rag-tag building with basically no amenities) but not completely out-of-line. 

I have not had problems with inspections as mentioned by reviewers below but have run into other issues. Major building-wide maintenance problems (brown water running from the taps, elevator outages) have gone unaddressed (and unacknowledged by the management) for weeks. The maintenance team, especially Leo are great, but it really seems to be a problem on the management end. The air conditioning policy is abhorrent: you are forbidden from owning any type of a/c unless you rent a unit from the building for $200 per room per month. Meanwhile, the building funnels its money into taco days and easter egg hunts. The building also recently instituted a new mail room whereby you can only pick up mail (or have it delivered) during office hours. 

The management forces you to re-sign leases well before any other building in the area by instituting periodic rent hikes throughout the leasing season. Finally, and worst of all, I have had several friends have their security deposits arbitrarily withheld, which has made me too scared to voice any of these complaints to the management. 

If you want the "amenities" that Howe Place is advertising, go to the Novella. If you want more space, pick any of the other buildings on Howe.
