Horrible negligent management

Pros

Wonderful neighborhood, great transportation options nearby, decently updated kitchen and bathroom fixtures.

Cons

Management is non-communicative, deferred maintenance has become massively problematic, most notably with increasing leaks in the roof. They do not respond to or resolve 311 complaints, landlord will try to call and avoid putting anything in writing. I’ve never even met or been connected with the super, I’m not even sure there is one! Street gets very rowdy, noisy, and trashed on open street days twice a month.
