Major Security Issues
Pros
Most neighbors are quiet and respectful. We’ve built a community in the absence of proper building management.
Cons
The owners take zero accountability for the issues in the building. The police have confirmed there is likely a package thief living in the building and yet the owners have not upgraded the security system. Tenants have experienced many package thefts just in the last few months alone. People who don’t live in the building sneak in to smoke in stairwells and the owners still haven’t upgraded security. One tenant has been verbally and physically harassing the superintendent for almost ten years and has had no repercussions for her actions. Many many many complaints have been filed with the building owners and they don’t acknowledge any of them. If you value safety and reliability do not live here.
Advice to the owners
Listen to your tenants’ feedback.
