    Subpar Management good tenants
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The tenants, super, and porter are all friendly and kind.
    The apartments are very spacious.
    There’s a sense of community in the area and a semiactive tenants association.
    Cons:
    The building management’scommmunication is awful. If the heat or hot water goes out, don’t expect any notice or warning. My unit had multiple issues that were costing me money and it took me threatening to take them to court before they took it serious enough to fix.
