Worst. Building. Ever.
Former Tenant
Pros:
Legit nothing. This place is awful.
Cons:
Rats, roaches, flies, bed bugs, no lock on the building door, kids constantly smoking in the halls, harassment from strangers, no response from super, ceiling collapse, flooding from an unaddressed leak, maggots on the floor, inaccessible shower and kitchen, black mold. The list goes on. Don't move here. And there 100% is an issue with bed bugs. These people are slumlords.
Advice to owner:
Care more about people than you do about lining your pockets.

Nightmare owner and apartment
Former Tenant
Pros:
They considered foreign tenants.
Cons:
This building was full of black mold and bed bugs, the owner was horrible to deal with, they lost multiple months of rent, there was gun violence in the building, it was the worst experience of my life living there.
Advice to owner:
I think this property owner is beyond advice.

Cannot recommend
Former Tenant
Pros:
I liked the color of the floors
Cons:
Shootings on the corner, mushrooms growing out of our shower wall, 2 issues with bedbugs from the floor below, our rent checks “disappearing”, loud music in the streets all night, a front door that would be broken repeatedly...
Advice to owner:
Maintain the building
