    don’t consider it
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    the water pressure is great but it does take some time to get warm since it’s an electric water heater
    Cons:
    they did not clean the apartment prior to move-in. It was completely trashed, the refrigerator had a syringe and there were open holes throughout the apartment that were not patched up. there was a huge mouse problem. the heat was not adjustable and controlled by the super and was too hot. we would keep the window open during the dead of winter.

    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    My unit is fully updated with washer dryer and dishwasher, pretty good deal. The street is pretty quiet which is nice.
    Cons:
    Packages get stolen sometimes. Management is awful and unresponsive.
