Worst experience in my life
Former Tenant
Pros:
It’s quite at nights
Cons:
Water bugs lack of maintenance lack of apartment care Relationship between managements non existent they will treat you like crap and the enemy in quotes from Yano “my only job is to collect your rent and give you a place that’s my only job” beware of apt 2C if you make any noise past 10pm 2C will call the cops on you
Advice to owner:
Go back to realtor certification courses

Management does not care about safety of tenants
Former Tenant
Pros:
Nice neighborhood, quiet, spacious apartment
Cons:
Far from everything, waterbug problem, the floors detached from the bottom of the walls, Very rude management company and landlord they do not care about your safety as a tenant, you are just a paycheck to them. We had an issue with a tenant below us, she kept complaining we made too much noise. We couldn’t even walk from one room to the other without her calling the cops. This woman even went as far as to attack me, I was also pregnant during this time as well. I feared for my life. This woman would come to my door and bang on it trying to break it down because of the “noise.” We made several complaints to management and 311 we also made a police report. According to 311, the Management company, John Psaras Realty, is supposed to do everything to try and resolve the situation whether it would be installing carpets in our apartment, moving us to another apartment, or moving them to another apartment. They were completely rude to us on the phone calling us liars and saying it was our fault to begin with. They blatantly said that they are not responsible for us and our safety even when it says that they certainly are responsible in the contract.
Advice to owner:
Fix your attitude on how to deal with your tenants
