Great neighborhood, terrible building.
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great neighborhood, lots of restaurants nearby. Building is on a quiet street, despite having a bus thoroughfare.
Cons:
Landlord never answers, management company never picks up the phone. Place covered in roaches after a storm because basement floods. They don’t even bother bringing in a real exterminator. Neighbors even told me to watch out.
Advice to owner:
Actually take care of your tenants.
