Terrible New Management
Former Tenant
Pros:
Neighbors in the building are AMAZING and friendly. A great bunch of tenants, many of whom have been living there for years. The walls are thick and you rarely hear anything. It is very quiet inside.
Cons:
AWFUL new management that took over in may 2023. There is a serious rat infestation, mold issues in the walls, lack of heat in the winter, stolen packages on a regular basis. A homeless person stole the key to the building and is out there somewhere with access. The super is non responsive. You have to beg management to get anything done or repaired. Lots of illegal things going on in this building. Residents call 311 on a regular basis. The water in the building is often brown. It takes 10-15 mins for the shower water to get warm.
Advice to owner:
Listen to your tenants and fix the issues instead of ignoring them.
