    Do not rent here
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The street itself is beautiful
    - the super is a really nice guy who takes care of the trash well
    Cons:
    - worst building management ever
    - rats inside the building and management doesn’t care
    - decaying and disgusting hallways and dangerous stairs that are falling apart
    - fire occurred in june 2024 and the building didn’t start construction until january 2025 leaving everyone in unsafe conditions
    - multiple break ins and stolen packages and building didn’t add in any additional security measures
    - building always smells
    - you can hear everything in every apartment
    - no heat in winter to the point I was wearing gloves and winter jacket inside, nothing happened until threatening to call 311
    - old windows with terrible draft in winter
    Advice to owner:
    Do Better!!!

    Avoid this building at all costs
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Cheap rent for the area
    Location is good
    Quiet neighbors and street
    Cons:
    - Rats inside the building in the walls: building management was contacted regarding this and they completely ignored all emails and calls.
    - Fire damage throughout the building that has not been repaired in months (fire was in June 2024)
    - Stairs are dangerous and have not been repaired in what I would assume is 50 years+
    - The building is not secure, there have been break ins
    - overall the management company/owner have been impossible to deal with, and they have allowed people to live in/rent unlivable conditions while collecting full rent
    Advice to owner:
    Sell the building
