Paper thin walls and floors

Pros

Location Bedroom and living room sizes Closet space

Cons

- Common areas (halls, basement laundry,stairs) are dingy and need cleaning - walls are paper thin and you can hear every foot step of your upstairs neighbors - radiators are loud and you do not have access to turn them off - management and super are difficult to get in contact with

Advice to the owners

Clean the property and have better communication

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

The absolute worst.

Pros

Nothing. Totally negative.

Cons

Landlords don't answer phone, don't make repairs, give tenants the runaround and everything bad you can think of. Our super turns the heat off and blames the tenants when we complain.

Advice to the owners

Please sell the property to a real human being.
