    Don’t waste your money!
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Slow elevator that has trash occasionally
    Cons:
    Terrible neighbors who trash common areas , don’t clean after themselves in laundry room and complain and harass over ring camera. Super doesn’t clean enough
    Advice to owner:
    Sell to better management!
    Over 4 years ago
    Atrocious management; avoid at all costs
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    - Proximity to A-Train, GWB, decent (not great) grocery stores, growing and vibrant restaurant scene.
    - Newly renovated units make for a fresh start when moving in
    Cons:
    - A&E management (as of April 2019) is notoriously awful and they lived up to their reputation (previous owner was better)
    - Poor communication and deceit about a gas leak in the building, accompanied by refusal to let people move out early, offering only hot plates as a solution (which were never delivered)
    - Super lives off site and is completely unreachable
    - Roach problem reoccurs every spring/summer, likely due to poor waste management
    Advice to owner:
    Get out of real estate, you're terrible
