    Large 1 BR with dangerous cabinets
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The apartment on the first level was a really nice size considering it was a one bedroom. There were also 2 very large closets in the bedroom.
    Cons:
    One time the whole kitchen cabinet set almost fell on top of me breaking all of my family heirlooms. Also, the neighbor above me had a bathroom that must have been right above my bedroom because the ceiling would leak sometimes. One time there was a major ceiling leak and all kinds of gross liquid leaked unto my bed. If you're on the first level you can smell people's cigarettes coming through the window in the summer time. They were pretty timely when it came to making repairs.
    Advice to owner:
    The vendor you used for the refrigerator and stove really sucked.

    Neighbors are nice but serious infestation prob
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    - I liked the location, which is very convenient
    - People are really nice!
    Cons:
    - getting the building to address the serious cockroach infestation was impossible
    - heat was frequently not working
    - water pressure was terrible in the shower, and there was never any satisfactory action taken to fix it
    Advice to owner:
    Try to show more care for your tenants and address their needs.
