    All that glitters isn’t gold!
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The super does an amazing job keeping the building clean, in the three years living there I’ve never seen a rodent or bug. Location is GREAT!
    Cons:
    The building is owned and run by a management company who couldn’t care less about the building or its residents. I moved into a recently renovated apartment three years ago; during the last three years there have been multiple leaks that have gone unfixed and unaddressed by management. BLACK MOLD in the ceiling makes me hesitant to stay because of their lack of attention. My two downstairs neighbors have lived here their entire lives and have the same issues. They take NO ownership for a building they’re supposed to maintain. Tread Lightly!
    Advice to owner:
    When a tenant that has been living with you for years, brings up an issue, it should be properly addressed. This would ensure you have a beautiful, respectful, community of tenants living and respecting your building.

    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Super Maximo is very responsive and nice. I see him around the building all the time and helps same day with apt needs.

    Neighbors are good keeping noise down. Occasional noise once in awhile.

    Close to the trains, park, and shops.
    Cons:
    Heat is not always running. Apt can go a couple of hours cold.

    Lobby is clean but occasionally ppl leave random free stuff that isn’t needed.

    Management is very hard to get a hold of. Not my favorite people. They never answer phones.
    Advice to owner:
    Be more responsive and available for your tenants during office hours. Respond quickly via email.
