Bed bug breeding grounds
Former Tenant
Pros:
Nice courtyard entrance
Cons:
It was very dirty. The stairways were always littered with cigarette butts, and it was never cleaned up properly. I lived in 2 different units because there was a bedbug infestation in the unit below me, and I kept getting the residuals of the infestation in my unit through the outlets and cracks in the floors and walls. When I moved to another unit in the complex, (due to my financial situation I could not leave the building) another tenant that was diagonally below mine had an infestation too, and the building didn’t disclose that to me when I moved into that unit. It was absolutely insane. I get that bedbugs happen, but the management company WAS HORRIBLE to communicate with.
Advice to owner:
Be more vigilant when it comes to upkeep of the common areas, and Making sure to keep tenants accountable for their contributions to the filth of the building.

Dirty Neighborhood and building
Former Tenant
Pros:
Heat was GREAT.
Cons:
Building is very dirty and unkept. Neighborhood is loud. I was also harassed by a neighbor. The landlord worked with me to find a new location. The Super was aware of problematic behaviors by this neighbor (apparently the police were called on him before) and nothing has been done to remove him from the property.
Advice to owner:
Clean this proprerty!
