My title is wallbanger
Former Tenant
Pros:
My unit without the wallbangers the laundry room the gym building is appealing to the eyes at one time or another there is a staff member to talk to Felix carol and alba and those in the past that have helped me my company is impressed when they come my wife
Cons:
So I've been here since 2019 stayed in one unit for 3 years and eight months transferred to another unit the first unit my neighbor tortured me from banging on my walls tapping in the walls and throwing heavy objects at the base of my walls even though I've reported it to staff tried to take my neighbor to court numerous 311 calls went to the precinct on different occasions so July 26 2023 i moved what a birthday so happy to have peace of mind well at least i thought by the time the first came i notice certain familiar noises coming from the kitchen area tapping if i had an afro i probably would have pulled it out what are the chances so im eight months in my new unit and for some reason they don't believe me that its happening again im 62 i have family and a wife 2 daughters 2 step daughters im gonna put in to move in july in therapy 8 years for depression and anger now you see it every day on my face i know i do
Advice to owner:
My advice is just because a person is not on paper it doesn't mean there's nothing wrong im sure your company can have some sort of training cause your gonna get ones you can see and ones you can't see education is education some people are really hurting in here

Tenants behavior, shelter environment, excessive doorman system
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location, new building, good management
Cons:
Tenants are - most of them - from shelters. A lot of drugs related behaviors problems and lack of respect. The doorman control system with pictures etc gives a sensation of a shelter- unnecessary
Advice to owner:
Avoid tenants sitting in front of the building asking for money and favors
