Avoid at all costs
Former Tenant
Pros:
Relatively good community, wonderful tenant association fighting for their neighbors
Cons:
SO many roaches and mice

Mold/mildew painted over by maintenance instead of being cleaned

Ceilings and walls have cracks/holes exposing insulation

Slow/non-existent maintenance/owner response time

Little to no heat in Fall/Winter; banging heaters that are not flushed regularly

Paint jobs done irregularly/chipping paint throughout the year with no maintenance

Lack of renovations for long-time tenants, but newly renovated apartments given attention for newer tenants

Wheelchair elevator inaccessible; key to turn on/off does not work; accessibility elevator malfunctioned very soon after being installed

Packages consistently stolen

Parking lot is small, not taken care of in any way and only available to about 5 cars in a 7-story,
40+ family apartment building
