Honestly, it’s a great place

Former tenant·3 weeks ago

Terrible Building Management

Pros

I enjoy the neighborhood as well as the neighbors. Everyone is welcoming and friendly. I also enjoyed having access to a laundry mat as well as an elevator.

Cons

The elevator is constantly out of service, the apartments are not kept up well, the super refuses to do his job, the garbage is not taken out appropriately and tenants are only allowed to remove one bag of garbage a day. The company does not care about those who live and intentionally seek them harm and emotional damage.
