    Declining rapidly under this management
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    I liked the high ceilings and spacious rooms.
    Cons:
    The maintenance of the building has only gotten worse with the latest management. They are unresponsive, do not pay the super (supers don't stay, so repairs are infrequent and unreliable), and only take care of the place under threat of a lawsuit.
    Advice to owner:
    Take care of the place and the loyal tenants; stop neglecting them!
