Repairs take forever
Former Tenant
Pros:
Most things are good about the building!
Cons:
If something is broken, it takes forever to repair, if ever. Seems like management just ignores those problems and hopes we get tired of complaining.
Advice to owner:
A 1-week turnaround time is reasonable. Several months to a year is not.
