Poorly Managed and Maintained

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

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.
