    It’s all good
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    -It’s a great neighborhood.
    -Tons of public transportation options
    -Decent apartments (could use an upgrade
    For the price)
    Cons:
    -The restaurants downstairs are loud and dirty. -People stand in front of the building smoking at all hours of the day/night and it makes it hard to get in and out of the building (also, with covid it’s uncomfortable to pass by them).
    -Packages get stolen regularly
    -Hot water is on and off
    -Stairwells are dirty
    -new crop of young 20 somethings moved in, it sounds like a frat house at night, especially on weekends.
    -red solo cups in the stairwells
    -it’s hard to get the super to do any maintenance work (but he is a very nice guy)
    -mice and cockroach problem
    -loose tiles in the lobby
    -Tiny bedrooms
    -Spotty heat
    Advice to owner:
    -Maintain the building
    -be more responsive to tenants needs
    -get the pest problem under control

    If not, lower your rent.
