The Rat Kingdom
Former Tenant
Pros:
Generally speaking, the other tenants were kind people. With one major exception, but sometimes that can’t be helped. Location was seriously amazing, and I was on the 5th floor, so the roof access was everything. The apartment itself was sun-drenched and spacious, although in desperate need of a facelift.
Cons:
Rats. Let’s just start there. I had them in my ceiling and crawling around in my kitchen regularly. Landlords took 3 months to deal with it, after telling me they didn’t believe me, then threatened me when I called 311. Ultimately they just sent someone to fill a hole in the plaster wall behind my kitchen cabinets (which were falling off the wall), and I still saw rats in/around the building regularly. Garbage management was TERRIBLE. Most of the time there were massive piles of trash inside the building and it STANK in the summer. So many roaches and flies. Radiators barely came on and spewed hot water everywhere when they did. Hot water anywhere else, however, was a rare treat. I would’ve stayed but they neglected the building and my unit to a point where I couldn’t sleep. Every tiny noise at night woke me up because I was afraid it was another rat. I did everything I could to keep that apartment clean and pest free. Never got my security deposit back.

Pretty bad
Former Tenant
Pros:
Washer/dryer in unit
Convenient location
Cons:
No live-in super
Management (the Clearstone Group) is very slow to fix issues and when they do address it, the issue rarely gets fixed (our dryer hasn’t worked in over a year)
Frequent issues with the heat
Currently experiencing an issue with lack of hot water that’s lasted for two weeks
Advice to owner:
Put in place a live-in super
Be more responsive to maintenance requests
