Rieterstrasse 60 is an unremarkable three-storey residential block built in the 1950s. The building is owned by orthodox Jews who use the ground floor for parties and meetings. Upstairs, each apartment has a kitchen, a bathroom and a bedroom/living room, and is equipped with a hot water boiler with insufficient capacity to fill a bath. Apartments are occupied in general by single young zurich professionals or couples, often of non-swiss nationality. Rent for an apartment is approximately CHF1000 per month as of 2009. At least two cats and one dog live in this building. At least one of the apartment tenants is schizophrenic. At least one listens to death metal music. It takes less than 10 minutes to cycle from this building to zurich main station; this journey is mostly downhill. The nearest source of croissants to this building is the Migros supermarket in waffenplatzstrasse a few hundred metres to the northeast. Light sleepers in this building will be disturbed by passing busses.
