    If you enjoy living in filth....this is the building for you.
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Neighborhood is great.
    Cons:
    I don't even know where to begin! Packages get stolen all the time. The building is not clean. Don't even get me started on the basement; it's disgusting!! The elevator is ALWAYS broken. Hot water gets turned off at least 2 times a month with no notice. Management does not respond to repair requests (over seven months!). Overall, I love my apartment, but I can't wait for the lease to end.

    Advice to owner:
    communicate w everyone
