    UNLIVABLE, UNPLEASANT & UNRESPONSIVE
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    We thought we liked the recent renovations until we learned the landlords did not have permits for any of the work, causing carbon monoxide leaks from all of the in unit stoves & the water boiler in the basement for six months without any of the tenants' knowledge. Landlord kept turning on the heat without National Grid re-inspecting, causing the tenant's to have to call National Grid only to find carbon monoxide was still leaking in the problem areas. This was a four day process.
    Cons:
    Carbon monoxide leaks for 6 months, water shutoff for over 48 hours and sporadic shutoff without notice, no heat throughout winter, illegal unit in the basement, exposed wires, did not salt the walkway- tenants had to buy and take care of the ice, multiple water leaks from the roof into apartment and laundry room that were never patched up. Radiators would frequently leak water all over the floor next to outlets and electronics. Landlords are extremely petty, non-responsive, and ignore tenant rights. Building is still not registered on HPD since the building was rented to tenants June 2023- the previous owner is still listed. We threatened to withhold rent until we were given our right to reliable heat throughout October - February and they threatened to report us to our creditors.
    Advice to owner:
    Know the laws & follow them, work on what's wrong with your building instead of threatening your tenants to get paid & follow the legally required permit & inspection process
