Management is terrible
Former Tenant
Pros:
I love my apartment, its cozy, bright, and I keep it clean.
Cons:
Building management is extremely negligent, if repairs are made they are done as cheaply as possible. The elevator is constantly broken.
Advice to owner:
Install a new elevator, install a new boiler.
