    Run far away.
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    There aren’t any pros.
    Cons:
    - heat is barely ever on
    - any repairs aren’t done until you call 311
    - can’t ever get in contact with the office
    - quick to ask for rent money but won’t fix anything
    - cheap
    - hallways aren’t kept up with past the 1st floor.
    - has cameras in the building just for show, they don’t work (don’t let them fool you)
    - all around don’t care about the buildings.
    - tenants almost ALWAYS leave after their lease is up
    If you have other options, count these buildings out.
    Advice to owner:
    Do better.
