Do not live here!
Former Tenant
Pros:
Nice neighbors and close to riverside park
Cons:
The building is in horrible condition and the landlord does nothing to fix it. Leaks every few months; the elevator hasn’t worked in almost a year; mice and roaches; they turned the water off for almost a week with no explanation. Tenants have been on a rent strike because the conditions are so bad.
Advice to owner:
Start treating tenants like human beings

Tricky landlord and admin
Former Tenant
Pros:
It is clean, drug free, good heater
Cons:
Landlord over charge and if u don’t have receipts you are screw. Landlord don’t do repairs, admin are very rude and retaliate against tenants if one call 311. Super is a bad evil person. No covid cleaning has been done on the apartment where a person died of covid
Advice to owner:
They should treat old tenants better and make proper repairs. Stop increasing the rent when services are not being provided to tenants. Keep tenants happy don’t harass Hispanics tenants
