Fine place to live, not a super safe feeling neighborhood
Pros
Newly renovated apartment
Cons
Raised rent prior to stabilization rules changing
Do not move here
Pros
The neighbors are amazing. We have formed a tenant Union and are putting forth action for a rent reduction due to the lack of services provided. They barely turn the heat on the water pressure is always failing or the hot water is completely off. When you asked him to do repairs they become ratchet and combative. They use conniving tactics to exacerbate the situation. If you push them hard enough to get repairs done, they'll call the police on you. They've accused tenants of being terrorists claiming that the tenants have threatened to shoot them. It's highly doubtful that anyone has threatened to shoot them. Neighbors are opening a group HP case at the housing court to force the landlords to comply with their agreement for performing routine maintenance and repairs. The neighbors are kind and gracious everyone says hi when they see you. And we have each other's backs when we get our packages so we can make sure that they aren't stolen. The landlords do nothing about the theft that takes place daily.
Cons
The strong arming tactics committed by the landlords and the office staff. They're absolutely negligent. There's dog shit everywhere outside their roaches all over the place inside the rats in the lobby. Newest a 50 round fire shootout the first night that I moved in. They send the SWAT team to my apartment because I asked for my toilet to be fixed. They blatantly refuse to do repairs or any service at all and they blame tenants. It's like living at the circus. Oh yeah and they'll send security to my apartment whenever I need repairs done because they claim I'm a terrorist and when I deny access to security which I'm within the right to do, they call me a high-ass cracker, white trash, and other names. I've been called a fagot in multiple languages. My apartment has spent 2 months in a state of full repair since I moved in 3 years ago.
Advice to the owners
Fire everyone. Start with Victoria. Do not forget to dismiss Adel. Promote Simone to office manager. Terminate Abdullah. Send Lisa home with a nice severance.
