Great location & building
Former Tenant
Pros:
Spacious apartment, backyard space, roof access, laundry in building
Cons:
*Sometimes* responsive management, rats in backyard, commonly saw pests (dead or alive roaches, mice) in the laundry room, only 2 washers and 2 dryers for the building and the dryers don’t even work. Room in our apt flooded 3 times, even after them “promising” they would stay on top of it. Rats in the walls that you can HEAR squeaking and running. Roach problem and it won’t be addressed by management. You basically have to threaten management to fix anything. Central Ac units have mold and leak on to beds. Changed the intercom system out of no where with no instruction or notice and it doesn’t work half the time. Sink in the bathroom only gives insanely hot water. When we put in service requests, we have literally watched them come and fix one small thing of the several and then mark everything done. Worst management company ever.
Advice to owner:
Lower the rent, fix things when your tenants ask

Generally poor experience
Former Tenant
Pros:
Garbage management was fine
Heating worked
Heating worked
Cons:
Laundry machines / dryers were hit and miss.
Management took a least cost approach to fixing things - we had leaks from the roof into our apartment and they chose to paint over the water damage. The in-unit A/C leaks into my room and there hasn’t been a fix.
Poor responsiveness - at some point they stopped responding to questions and complaints. Couldn’t access the Activebuilding portal and no help was offered.
Changed intercom systems halfway through the lease to one that didn’t work for most tenants. No notice or instruction was provided.
Apartment was not clean upon move in. Mold grows easily here.
