Former tenant·9 minutes ago

Would not recommend

Pros

Location was great

Cons

Laundry did not work. Building was dirty, poorly maintained and there were roaches even where I was on the 5th floor. Property manager not helpful or responsive. No heat in one of the rooms in the winter, had to call 311 and the building did not fix or turn up heat.

Former tenant·3 months ago

Nice building with average management experience

Pros

The building is most of the time very clean and nice. Tenants in the building are nice and respectful. Submitting maintenance claims has led to faster replies as of late. Historically, maintenance requests would be left open and would not be addressed by management.

Cons

Laundry is way too expensive in the building and half the machines are non functional/ will ruin your clothes. This has been brought up to management by numerous tenants and they have not done anything about it. Units have been broken into and we've asked for virtual doorman which has not been addressed.

Advice to the owners

Address Maintenance Requests always in a timely manner, lower laundry costs and install virtual doorman please!
