    Management takes long to respond. Especially the new ones
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Neighbors are nice.
    Cons:
    Dingy walls and floors in lobby. Elevator always gets stuck. Laundry room is small not enough machines, needs maintenance. Unresponsive owner.
    Advice to owner:
    Update the paint and floor tiles. Update the elevator. Maybe making the extra huge rooms in the basement into the laundryroom would help.
