    Building is nice with wonderful ppl and a responsive super
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Super is reliable
    Cons:
    Owner is not responsive, dismisses claims until you threaten to cal 311. Then they respond to your calls. I complained about having no heat for years and they never did anything until we threatened to call 311. I’ve had a leak in my apartment for 15 years they fix it and it leaks again 6 months later until one day my entire corner of my ceiling came down at night.
    Advice to owner:
    Take peoples concerns seriously. Shouldn’t have to threaten to get things done.

    Old and dirty building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The rent is on a cheaper side and apartments are spacious
    Cons:
    Leaks, mice, cockroaches, hard to get things fixed, management is unresponsive.. always random people sitting in the hallways, listening to music and smoking weed. Imposible to get a hold of management.
    Advice to owner:
    Check in your buildings and respond and accordingly when tenants call/send complaints!
