Terrible neighbors

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 the owners

Please keep up with building. Take care of your tenants and do something about the horrible ones!
