    Horrible communication
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The place is pretty clean and a decent location.
    Cons:
    If you have any issues at all it can take up to two years to resolve. The management of these buildings is the worst thing I have ever seen. You won’t get anything fixed unless you call 311.
    Advice to owner:
    Hire better managers.
