Apathetic Management & Mosquito Central
Pros
top floor apartments have ample light, very high ceilings. block is nice, near transit, high foot traffic.
Cons
Hummus restaurant downstairs shares a basement with the building and leave the back door open year round despite repeated requests to keep it closed. Easy to get mosquitos/flies since they're given easy access to the stairwell. Management is slow to respond and response is usually underwhelming.
Bad maintenance, irresponsible management
Pros
Great location Spacious main bedroom Lots of light
Cons
- Apartment wasn’t fixed before move in - Paint work wasn’t done before move in - Toilet and bathroom were spilled with yellow stinky water on the move in date and no one came to clean - Heat of the whole building was out for weeks and the management was not responsible or responsive to get it fixed. - Fire alarms were not installed even until months after move in - Cockroaches in the apartment first week of move in - Dirty and smelly hallway with poor garbage management in the dusty basement - Noisy and dusty in the master bedroom - So many more things!
