    Horrible management company, great neighborhood
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    This building is in a beautiful location and everyone who lives in the building is kind and neighborly.
    Cons:
    The management company is absolutely horrible. They are completely unresponsive and only care about profit. When I lived there, they refused to address basic concerns and attempted to raise the rent by a horrifying percentage every year. I would not recommend living in this building because of the negligence of management.

    Constant maintenance, old building with common pests
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location, friendly neighbors.
    Cons:
    Update: roaches inside unit and hallway. Apparently mgmt is aware of a roach problem outside our building but no one’s informed us and not sure what action is being taken. Unlikely to reach management, they don’t care and will leave maintenance requests pending for months. Be persistent with super, most things the building is responsible for you’ll have to fix yourself if you want it done in reasonable time. Multiple no-shows for repairs, lots of waiting around with no communication which can be frustrating. Boiler had to be replaced but my radiators weren’t on until mid November. One needed repair and was a pain to coordinate getting it fixed. Monthly exterminator but no one uses it in their unit.
    Advice to owner:
    Take care of maintenance requests and rank them by priority/urgency. Especially ones related to tenant SAFETY and also plumbing or leaks. It disrupts us from going about our day and responsibilities. Do more to take care of pests in and around the building!

    Terrible management company, you'll be treated like trash
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Good super, overworked but friendly and he does what he can! Great location Friendly neighbors
    Cons:
    Management has no phone number, only contact by email and they take weeks to reply Rent renewal at 30% increase from already high rent Broken stove not replaced for over 1 month Exposed brick wall lets cockroaches in from outside Dryers in basement not vented so takes forever to dry
    Advice to owner:
    treat your tenants like people, not profit

    Absentee management in great neighborhood
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great location Great neighbors Good sound proofing in between apartments
    Cons:
    Absentee management. We had a leak in our ceiling for almost a year and had to threaten lawsuit to get it fixed. The management company scheduled repairmen who always ghosted us and then lied about it. When presented with proof, management ghosted us. The front door often broke so packages were stolen. Otherwise it was a decent building to live in.
    Advice to owner:
    Pay attention when your tenants report a leak that is quite likely causing mold issues and threatening the structural integrity of the building.
