Nightmare situation no heat no gas
Former Tenant
Pros:
Good size, we had the whole second floor.
Cons:
No heat no gas, very aggressive management. They gave us 3 space heaters and told us that was sufficient for winter. Art Blount the property manager got especially aggressive after we made 311 complaints, threatened to bring us to court, we would of easily won btw. Our upstairs neighbor eventually sued and won major concessions, and refunds for rent. L&E Brokerage the management company was an absolute joke, sending us wrong statements, wrong reminders for rent even though we paid on time.
Entire experience from start to finish was the worst, most pitiful renting experience I’ve ever had. Oh, also the “massage parlor” downstairs was shut down for prostitution; go figure — stay away.

No heat for most of winter
Former Tenant
Pros:
Huge living room.
Cons:
Property manager is a monster. Left us without heat until February. No gas for our entire lease. Avoid at all costs unless they have renovated recently. Test stove top.
