Moldy and Leaky
Former Tenant
Pros:
Good location, easy commute to work, near great food
Cons:
Alerted management to the black mold issue in the basement multiple times. Rather than repair it, they just painted over the mold.
I was on a top floor unit and constantly dealing with leaking & water damage that eventually led to a large hole in the living room ceiling. There were also leaks in closets and bathrooms. Management was alerted of the progress of the leaking in the living room but did not do anything to address until there was a large ceiling bubble. At that point, the repair guy came over and cut a hole into the ceiling (without laying down any plastic/protection for our things) and left it like that for nearly two months.
When I moved out, I warned everyone that viewed the apartment that of issues, both verbally & with post-it notes pointing out damage. And yet people rented it while there was a hole in ceiling. I think of those tenets every time it rains because I know it must be causing a waterfall in the living room.

We should have listened to the warnings from the last tenant
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location is nice, across from a school and a park with basketball, wall ball, and a playground that are all well maintained.
Cons:
Leaking ceilings and ac units, maintenance does not fix issues, tenants constantly breaking their leases because the property isn’t maintained, ongoing mold issue in multiple units, roaches, packages are stolen frequently.
When we first viewed the apartment there were sticky notes from the last tenants hidden in the cabinets and closets with warnings about packages being stolen, poor management, roaches and mold. We should have listened. After we moved in our neighbors came by and told us our unit had severe water damage that was never dealt with and that’s why the people in our unit ultimately broke their lease and moved out. When we asked maintenance about this they assured us it wouldn’t be an issue and was totally fixed. It only took a few months for it to be an issue, and it’s still not been addressed.
Advice to owner:
Sell your property to someone who can maintain it
