Most apts have issues
Former Tenant
Pros:
Nice community garden. Some residents are generally involved. Nice location. Price was nice. Not sure if they do or don’t allow pets, but management is never there to find out. (Several people have pets). Roof access.
Cons:
We didn’t have heat for several weeks. Had to call 311 to finally get heat in our apt bc management was not responsive. There were several other issues with other apts, like a water leak that ran down several floors. The building has a tenant association bc of issues. Trash would often overflow and smell.
