Former tenant·10 months ago

Becoming worse in the past year

Pros

Good location. Welcome pets. Cheap.

Cons

There is no management per say in this building. No one cleans the public space. Always have trash in front of the gate. Laundry room dirty and always smell like rotten egg. They started renovating the building about 7months ago and stopped mid way until now. We haven’t had a door frame for 5 months.

Advice to the owners

Clean your building. Finish renovating. Start managing.
