    Poorly Managed and Maintained
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Apartment is in a great location and basically maintenance requests were fulfilled quickly.
    Cons:
    Management switched property managers without letting us know so we were ignored for months while dealing with three insect infestations (bedbugs, roaches, moths) and a rodent issue. The building is overall poorly maintained. The bedbug infestations dragged on for over A YEAR and eventually both the exterminator and landlord gave up told me there was nothing more to be done and I moved out.

    Very leaky ceiling but otherwise ok
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great location, nice neighbors, 2 bathrooms
    Cons:
    We were on the top floor, and our ceiling was constantly leaking in multiple different rooms to the point where a pretty big hole in the ceiling formed above my bed. Property owner was slow to respond (although I think the building switched management companies at some point during the year I lived there). The walls between bedrooms are paper thin too.
    Advice to owner:
    Fix the ceiling
