    Beware of slumlord !!
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The location, the people
    Cons:
    The lack of heat in the winter, sometimes for weeks at a time. The flooding of the stairwell, water damage and hoards of rats. The fact that the building management mocks you while you beg for heat. The fact that living hear has been dehumanizing and financially destructive.
    People all wrongfully deflect the blame onto Martin the super (I should know, was doing it myself) when in fact Martin likely isn't given ANY means of fixing things by management and left to just wing it.
    THE ISSUE IS THE HALEGUA FAMILY. Don’t let their confusing web of LLC’s and property managers that nobody has ever met before lead you don’t the wrong trail. JOSH HALEGUA. NATHAN HALEGUA. Old money making their wealth by treating humans like garbage with no rights.
    Advice to owner:
