    A Bit of a Mixed Bag
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Everyone is very neighborly here. You have some people who would go out of their way to make sure you know how to navigate the bits of the building.
    Cons:
    Packages tend to get opened and/or stolen. The front door doesn't quite open when you press the Press to Open door. Elevators are usually on the fritz. Management does what it can but feels like more could be done.
    Advice to owner:
    Have the building fix what it must & have security by the mail room to ensure our things don't get stolen.

    not as advertised NO WORKING INTERCOM SYSTEM
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    UNRESPONSIVE to multiple repair calls for leaks, clogged drains, and roaches
    Cons:
    No working intercom system and no answers
    for when it will be fixed
    Advice to owner:
    get your property up to the standards you advertised AND GET A NEW STAFF THAT DOES SOMETHING MORE THAN LAUGH AT YOUR RENTERS AND HIDE IN THE BACK ROOMS AND NEVER ADDRESS ISSUES/REPAIRS!!!!
