pests and unresponsive landlords
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great location, updated appliances, nice flooring.
Cons:
Maintenance of the building was disappointing. Garbage outside is not well taken care of, leading to rats under and around the stoop. Landlords do next to nothing to prevent pests, including ignoring the roach problem. Apartment was not cleaned well before move in. Regular apartment maintenance concerns are not addressed properly. Front door of the building does not lock unless the door is slammed. Doors in the apartment are old and do not latch. Laundry room machines are constantly broken. Rent is high for the area/space. Surprise monthly fees were added to the lease on move in day.
Advice to owner:
More regular upkeep of the building is needed (garbage, painting, replacing doors, fixing the broken wood in common spaces.)
