    Mitch Rothken / Beach Lane Management
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Nothing. Only good thing is the location.
    Cons:
    Electric problems, lights turn off -dangerous. Huge roach problem. Mold too. Super is a psycho-walks into apartments w/o knocking -changes door code and won’t tell you code. Landlord is a literal criminal
    Advice to owner:
    Run for your life. Mitch the landlord is a criminal. Will do anything against the law to steal from you. This is a cabal of criminals and bottom feeders.
