Good for short term/single people
Pros
Great location as far as proximity to train. The landlord was responsive enough but he seldom if ever picks up phone calls. Only email. Sam and Eric work their hardest to maintain the building.
Cons
However be weary of the neighborhood as there is a lot of drug use in that area. The trash area was disgusting and ridden with rats. We’d run to open and close the trash can. Also had an issue with loiters on the stoop early on into moving but they eventually stopped after landlord put up a sign. Railings were often very shaky and unsecured. We never saw mice however there were a few water bugs here and there. Appliances were old and small for the size of the apartment! The 2in 1 washer dryer took 3 hours to wash and never dried our clothes.
Advice to the owners
Get rid of the carpet in the hallway/staircases, it’s gross and collects massive amounts of dusk very easily. Invest in better appliances especially the refrigerator and washer/dryer . Ensure that the railings are secure. I wouldn’t raise a family here as it’s definitely more of a first time apartment.
Roaches and heat never works
Pros
Nice tenants, modern kitchen and washer dryer
Cons
So many roaches, manager a bit unresponsive and cant control the heat
