    Responsive management, but beware of bedbugs
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Good location, friendly and helpful management company, friendly neighbors and super, building is relatively well-maintained
    Cons:
    Can get loud sometimes with sounds echoing in the lobby and hallways, but the main issue that drove me out was bedbugs. Upon scanning the violations in this app, it seems like there have been bedbug issues with that unit (3I) since 2016. I “got rid of them” only for them to return two months later, which makes me think they’re either coming from a neighbor or they’re living in the walls. To building mgmt’s credit, they were responsive and sent exterminators whenever I asked, but landlord exterminators tend to cut corners and they never told me that unit had a recent history — they didn’t blame me exactly, but they implied it was likely or possible that I brought them in.
    Advice to owner:
    You might need to hire someone who’s going to do a more thorough job if this issue hasn’t abated yet. It’s unfair to the tenants who have to suffer in those conditions and can’t afford to hire better-quality service
