Great location but management inconsistent in responsiveness
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location is amazing. Noise is not too bad given the location.
Garbage management is pretty well managed.
They can sometimes be very responsive, but sometimes it takes contacting them twice
Cons:
It seems like each year they wait till residents complain before turning on the heat despite city regulations.
Hot water can sometimes take 10+ minutes to turn on.
Packages get stolen despite their being cameras in the lobby.
