    Stay away, high rent terrible management that does not fix things.
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location is good
    Cons:
    1. Slum lords, management slow to respond and doesn’t fix things
    2. No heat for 3.5 weeks
    3. Rodents in unit, given 1 trap
    4. All Washing machines don’t work. Management says go to a laundromat. Blames all tenants for problems. $3 a load to ruin your clothes.
    Updated 11/2/2024, washing machines were FINALLY REPLACED, but warning issued to tenants that they will be financially responsible for any future problems to machines & landlord will know because of cameras. Always threatening tenants! LOWERED the cost of the load to $1.75 , most positive action in 2 years.
    5. Unit ceiling tiles appear dirty and like could fall down any minute. Walls have big holes and chipping paint- Most likely lead paint. Bathroom has mold.
    6. Rent is high for what you get
    Advice to owner:
    Respond to requests and fix things. Building in need of maintenance. Stop being a slum lord.
