Former tenant·Over 3 years ago

Could Be Better

Pros

Laundry in the building; 4 washers 3 dryers Packages are mostly safe and untouched Neighbors are friendly Organized garbage and recycling disposal area Dishwasher Trash shoot for after hours disposal Near the beach really nice to walk on the boardwalk

Cons

Pest issues in apartment and building in general got worse overtime. Walls are thin can hear through the wall, noisy wood floors can hear neighbor in the next door apt and above apartment. Covid regulations were barely followed in the building ie no mask wearing of tenants or porters, cleanliness of building got worse overtime.

Advice to the owners

This building can be better managed and better taken care of.
