Landlord not great
Former Tenant
Pros:
Large apartment, great area, kind neighbors.
Cons:
Buzzer only works for one side of the building and he refuses to fix it. Roaches everywhere in the entry way. Entry way is never cleaned. Told over a year ago the entryway & stairs would be repaired and they have not been. They are not safe for the elderly in the building. Bedbugs have been spotted and ignored. Took him 10+ days to even respond and around 20 for him to send an exterminator. Had to hire our own exterminator, but we’re told it’s a building issue and he has yet to address it still. Had to file official paperwork to get my security deposit back! He’s a slumlord!
Advice to owner:
Be more responsive and take better care of your properties. Tenants should not have to live in filth.

A distant father for a landlord
Former Tenant
Pros:
Like a distant father, he won’t bother you much
Cons:
As a distant father would, he doesn’t respond unless it’s an emergency
Advice to owner:
Perhaps open up to responses
