Worst building management

Pros

Washer dryer in unit. Neighbors friendly. Super great.

Cons

Building managers rude and unresponsive. Raised rent during the pandemic. Hot water didn’t work for two months. Refused to fix.

Advice to the owners

Treat your renters with the respect due to them by law. Get a new front face — the property manager named Mike is a law suit waiting to happen. Liability.
