Advice to the owners
cleanliness
Neglectful management, mice and leaky roof
Pros
Nice area, close to the train, amazing neighbors, decent pricing (if negotiated with landlord for competitive rates).
Cons
You have to harass management to get anything fixed, any issue you are made to believe doesn’t exist. They are slow to fix things and are cheap about maintaining the building. Hallways tend to smell of cat piss. There’s a rodent problem they don’t deal with properly. Bugs come and go. Random Things ppl are given access to building and lobby frequently. Original tenants aren’t given basic needs like heat or pest control as a way to force them out and raise rent.
Advice to the owners
Invest in your property, listen to your tenants, value your long term tenants
