Avoid living here if you don’t have to
Former Tenant
Pros:
Francis, the super, is an angel! He takes his job seriously and is always willing to help.
Unfortunately there are way too many problems for him to handle on his own.

Cons:
Constant mice issues, I must have killed 50 over the three years I lived there. Mail service was cutoff bc USPS deemed the mailboxes to be not properly secured. landlord took almost a year to fix. Only way to retrieve your mail was to go to the post office during a two-hour window two days a week that most people weren’t off work during. Bathtub backfilling with neighbor’s shower water and overflowing. People smoking, playing loud music and buying/selling drugs in the lobby every winter. Worst offense was after I let my ex out of the lease and started paying all the rent myself the landlord took her to housing court claiming the rent was never paid. So I had to go to court to support an ex who really didn’t want to be there (and with me) to prove the rent had all been paid. It was clear that he only did this because he knew we broke up and that she would have no way to prove that the rent had been paid.
Advice to owner:
Sell the building and go into another line of work, one where your negligence doesn’t have as much of a direct impact on people’s lives

Lots of potential, but the owners don’t GAF
Former Tenant
Pros:
Size of units
Cons:
1. Cameras don’t work.
2. Packages are constantly stolen.
3. Random people smoking and drinking in lobby who don’t even live in the building.
4. Heat is on 5-10 mins per hour during winter, which means you’re going to have to invest in electric heaters.

Advice to owner:
Put up working security cameras, and hire a super who will kick out random people who party in the lobby.
