    Guardian Realty is the worst
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    It's quiet. Probably because of how many vacant apartments there are
    Cons:
    Building mismanagement is horrendous. They don't respond to service requests. The building is Dirty with roaches and other parts everywhere.
    Advice to owner:
    Listen to your tenants. Especially in these trying times

    Worst first apartment I could of asked for
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Large apartment space
    Cons:
    -No responses from Blimy Fisher (the apartments landlord) for issues with our downstairs neighbors, sink leaking, roach problems.
    - Neighbors play music early in the morning to very very late the next morning with no respect for the people around their apartment.
    -Massive roach problem in our kitchen that was a cause because of a leak we had in our sink the first two months.
    -We had no fridge in our unit when we moved in and the stove was not connected.
    -Quickly done repairs are obvious and have diminished in less than a year we’ve been here.
    -This building did not give any resources to prevent the spread of COVID, and gave no relief to anyone in the building.
    -Elevator was being repaired for 5 months of our lease leaving elderly to take the stairs.

    Please go with any other company but Guardian reality, and any other building manager besides Blimy Fisher!
    Advice to owner:
    Actually help your tenants that pay you on the dot every month. And don’t put “No tenant shall make or permit to be made, disturbing noises in the building or permit to be done anything that will interfere with the rights, comforts or convenience of other tenants.” If your just going to disregard this and not help the people it actually affects.

    Forget about it!
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    This section is not applicable since there are absolutely no pros! Actually there’s one... All the cute dogs but that about it!
    Cons:
    Good luck getting a hold of management after you have moved in. Neighbors play loud music till early morning hours, elevator was out of service for months and the poor senior citizens have to walk up and down the stairs, hallway smells like cigarettes and piss, we moved in and there’s still old paint and concrete sweat under the bath tub, neighbors buzz on your buzzer to let them in, packages stolen, windows aren’t sealed so in winter time good luck to ya! Power outlets are rare, there are no circuit breakers but instead they have a pre war tube type breakers, the floors are uneven, the ceilings are cracked, the hot water pressure is almost non existent, and you can email or call the management to complain about these problems but you’ll never hear back so if this is the standard you are searching for then this is heaven for you!
