    Avoid at all costs!
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    There are no pros. I would say the four walls but my neighbors' wall and ceiling collapsed a few months ago and my floor is warping.
    Cons:
    Everything - please look up all the violations for the building and other buildings this management company owns. Rats, pests, sound (lack of insulation), heat and hot water issues, no hot water for extended periods of time (I went without hot water for 2 months), gas issues (our building had a gas leak due to illegal construction), water damage and mold to walls and hallways, shared meter issues and theft of utilities, no real service or maintenance, dirty hallways and improper trash disposal, and tenant harassment when issues are reported.
    Advice to owner:
    Sell the building.

    Provide a better service for the money you charge.
