Despite some positives like spacious apartments and good lighting, the building suffers from continuous problems such as poor garbage management, lack of pest control, and disruptive noise levels.

    Don’t live here
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The apartments are pretty spacious and cheap for what you get.
    Cons:
    Everything. There’s roaches everywhere, rats in the walls, and creepy men who smoke cigarettes and drink all hours of the day and play loud music in the lobby with no regards to their neighbors. It always smells disgusting and the landlord is extremely unresponsive.
    Advice to owner:
    There aren’t enough words in the english language to describe how much i hate you

    Building going downhill
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The pros of that you need a transportation.
    Cons:
    The cons is that the fact that the rat infestation in the backyard, you have neighbors who play music from 7:00 p.m. to 2:30 a.m. And then you have other neighbors who wake up and play music from 3:00 to 7:00 a.m. in the morning. The cameras in the building don't work so anyone can steal your package and you'll never know who did it.
    Advice to owner:
    Fix the cameras in the hallway Make sure that the hallway in the backyard is not rat infested and roach infested
