    Building lacks cleanliness.
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    It was once a nice building but it is degrading every year.
    Cons:
    There have been many cases of bed bugs throughout the building. The carpet is filthy and rarely cleaned by the porters.
    Advice to owner:
    Hire more porters who will clean the building regularly and thoroughly. Dirty tenants should be reprimanded.
