    Terrible neighbors
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Prime location. I’ve been around orchard st for 6-7 years now and living here for a couple years. Apartments are very small, bathroom is also very small. Great for single people. Landlord is nice but never around. The building and hallways need a heavy make-over.
    Cons:
    Tenement building so walls are paper thin. Every level in this building has a bad tenant. Noisy, partying constantly until the early morning, arguments and from what I’ve heard, these tenants have been here for YEARS and is a constant issue. Cops are here every single week banging on doors so be ready to be woken up in the middle of the night.
    Advice to owner:
    Please keep up with building. Take care of your tenants and do something about the horrible ones!
