Terrible Management and Building

Pros

Nothing...I hated everything about this place.

Cons

There were cockroaches in the unit. The landlord or super never responded to any concerns. Heat was turned on way past when it should have been turned on (in december). Terrible experience.

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

Great location! Not a bad deal

Pros

Loved the renovated apartment and the location. Very close to everything you’d need and especially conveniently located by the 1 train. The kitchen and bathroom were both updated.

Cons

The lack of hot water is my biggest complaint. It was almost never on and if it was, it would either last for a few minutes or take 15 minutes to heat up. We had one rat enter the apartment through a hole under the sink. They took care of it the same day, and we’ve had no other pest issues, but the super is very busy and sometimes hard to contact if it’s not an emergency. Neighbors are loud during warmer months, but they’re all very kind.

Advice to the owners

Please please please fix the hot water!
