Former tenant·Over 3 years ago

It’s all good

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 the owners

-Maintain the building -be more responsive to tenants needs -get the pest problem under control If not, lower your rent.
