    Poorly maintained building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Huge apartments, tall ceilings, lots of natural light. Maintenance is very responsive. Location is good.

    Too much noise from the street traffic, very poorly maintained, poor waste management, sidewalk is filthy, and there are mice and roaches.
    Advice to owner:
    Do a better job with sanitation of the building

    A Total Disaster
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The space itself was decent
    Cons:
    INFESTED with roaches and bugs - in every room, cabinet, drawer and even the refrigerator. Neighbors kept belongings chained up in the lobby, including a motorcycle. Super was completely unresponsive as was landlord. Garbage was tossed down the stairs into an alley or was just left in a massive pile on the sidewalk.
    Advice to owner:
    Stop being a slumlord.
