    It’s okay for what I pay
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Rent controlled
    Everyone in the building is nice
    Pets allowed
    Cons:
    Roaches
    Package thief’s in building
    Outdated
    Advice to owner:
    It would be good to update the building and not just paint everything an ugly shade of yellow

    Worst apartment I’ve ever had
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location is great. Exposed brick was nice.
    Cons:
    Awful, unresponsive, dismissive, misogynistic landlord. Had to break my lease due to a roach infestation that the exterminator said was the worst he’d ever seen. Dealt with leaks by painting over them. Did not fix a completely broken window (as in the window was smashed and glass everywhere) for four months, into the cold winter months.
    Advice to owner:
    Sell all your buildings and never be a landlord again.

    201’s Drama House
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The people are nice except the lady in 1A. She argues with everyone.
    Cons:
    The super rent his apartment out to make money, doesn’t repair issues in a timely manner and property owner knows.
    Advice to owner:
    Take better care of your tenants especially the elderly.

    Ten years and counting
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The location is great for parks and public transportation. Also parking isn’t that difficult.
    Cons:
    The lack of response from the landlords is poor and the neighbors leave trash all over the building. People smoke in the hallways too and leave their butts everywhere.
    Advice to owner:
    Please put up no smoking signs.

    Cons:
    Better pest control overall for the building
    Advice to owner:
    Get better with tenants and there needs!
