    1655 Union Street could be so much better
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Quiet apartments, clean, friendly neighbors
    Cons:
    on going leak in all top floor apartment ceilings, that have not been addressed adequately. water pressure low and averages at least five minutes before water becomes hot. exterminator scheduled to visit during the week between 10am - 1pm when no one is home. loitering in front of building all hours of day and night by non residents.
    Advice to owner:
    The entire roof needs to be repaired completely not piece meal. water pressure needs to be addressed. schedule exterminator for weekends. address loitering by non-residents.
