    Not many pros. It’s an apartment.
    Cons:
    Unsafe conditions. Gas leaks. broken front door. rampant theft and breakins. Unresponsive management. Broken w/d. Advertised with roof access & then prohibited to access in the lease. Pests throughout. Cheap finishes break apart. Black mold in bathrooms.

    No regard for tenants, say goodbye to your packages
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Central air is nice I guess.
    Cons:
    AVOID 311 ROGERS LIKE THE PLAGUE. Walls are paper thin. You can hear people sneeze above and below and to the side of you. Literally. Advertised as having rooftop access but told not to access it once moved in. Building permits criminal activity and theft including by its own tenants. Say goodbye to your packages. Building will not cooperate with security footage review. I am aware of dozens of packages stolen - including by unauthorized tenants in the building. Building does not address. The lock is picked often. Building does not address and continues to allow theft and lack of security in common areas. Building refuses to repair laundry machines for multiple years now. Despite advertising as having laundry in building. Lies about status of repairs. Took almost 18mos to make a single repair in my apartment that took only 30 minutes altogether including sourcing the appropriate part from Home Depot. False advertising in the apartment listing. Not to mention the illegal harassment and intimidation of tenants with rent protections. Unauthorized access to apartments.
    Advice to owner:
    Clean it up, slumlords, before I get Dept of Housing involved
