Think twice before renting here
Pros
The heat is probably the best thing about this building.
Cons
Cat sized rats outside the building at night, Super doesn’t fix shit I had water damage in my bathroom for a year and lastly had a problem with roaches when the weather got cold.
Advice to the owners
Get a better super & actually respond to complaints.
Negligent management
Pros
They were very accommodating when I subletted my apartment and also when I needed to break my lease early due to changes with my employment.
Cons
They let water damage build up for almost 4 years in my bedroom and bathroom, it reached unlivable conditions and I had to write dozens of emails and finally had to threaten to file an official complaint with the Office of the Tenant Advocate. They took weeks to replace a broken smoke detector.
Advice to the owners
Be available for calls at the management office during working hours (they will let the phone ring off the hook without answering between 9am-5pm on business days) and responsive to maintenance requests. They have been wildly negligent in the past.
