    Not the worst, far from great.
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    - management is quick to make repairs (only the ones they see fit)
    Cons:
    - ceiling was leaky and produced a ton of mold in our closet and bathroom
    - the front doorknob is constantly breaking
    - there is a bad roach infestation
    - there is a mail thief living in the building and the managers refuse to install cameras or do anything to deal with this, basically told us to deal with it
    Advice to owner:
    listen to your tenants
