Great spot, shady management
Pros
Great area! Apartments are nice and generally decently kept. Super is pretty responsive. Rent payment is easy via an online portal. Pest control comes regularly, you just have to sign up for them to come to your unit specifically.
Cons
The unit directly next to me caught fire overnight after the tenant was evicted. I was out of town and management never gave notice on what happened even though it affected several units. They plaid it off like they were just renovating post-eviction. Had to find out from the ladies who run the laundromat downstairs. They ended up raising my rent $500 despite their neglectful communication.
Advice to the owners
Be more transparent
Ok Building (5D)
Pros
My unit was recently updated before I moved in. Lots of closet space, little to no vermin, save the occasional roach, low rent, responsive management. Never raised our rent too much year over year and got a rent deduction during Covid
Cons
So ridiculously hot in the winter, walls in the building are paper thin so you could hear every conversation, neighbors tend to be younger, terrible water pressure, and Super when I was there was super defensive and didn’t want to do anything,
