Do not live in this building
Former Tenant
Pros:
Units are large
Cons:
The landlord who owns this building is one of the worst in the city. He does not answer nor return phone calls, and does not acknowledge issues such as building safety, damage, etc. We did not receive a dime of our very large security deposit back after moving out (the apartment was in perfect condition with no issues) and are seeking legal counsel as he either lies about why he is not returning it or does not reply.
During our time living there, there were rats in the stairwells, our ceiling fell through due to a leak that was not taken care of, we were robbed while we slept due to the front door of the building not locking properly (this was never fixed), and homeless individuals slept inside our building outside of our apartment door. The building is located above a pawn shop, and the street noise is unbearable as the windows don't seal properly.
The owner of this building will rob you of thousands of dollars and does not care about the safety and cleanliness nor the tenants who live there. Stay away.

Advice to owner:
Return your tenants security deposits and sell the building to someone fit to manage it.

It’s as bad as the other review and worse
Former Tenant
Pros:
Apartments are big
Cons:
Literally everything else - mice in the trash area, trash area stench fills the staircase, front door to building constantly broken so anyone can get in, heat not turned on when it gets cold, used needles in the doorway you need to tiptoe around, elevators often broken so you are forced to take the trash filled stairs. Just don’t no matter how sweet the deal is
