    Horrible don’t live here
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location is good. Building is horrible.
    Cons:
    Everything literally. Elevator never works. Laundry never works. Super and management company are extremely rude and unhelpful. False advertising everywhere. Packages get stolen all the time. Bugs
    all the time. Super never comes or comes 8 hours after he says he will.
    Advice to owner:
    You literally don’t care about your tenants one bit. You are extremely unhelpful.
