    Review Summary for 82 Devoe Street

Tenants complain about the building being unlivable with constant problems, from noisy neighbors to dangerous conditions like leaks and inconsistent heating.

    Apartment was in bad condition
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The building itself was mostly fine. Neighbors were a little noisy but overall it was good.
    Cons:
    The landlord, who from my understanding owns most of the building, did not put any effort into upkeeping the units within the building.

    Bill Lika is bad at his job.
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Nobody really bothers you here, and you can pretty much do whatever you want.
    Cons:
    I've never seen a floor swept or a the backyard cleaned in the 2 years I've been living here.
    Advice to owner:
    You should really hire somebody to assist you with day-to-day repairs. It's extremely annoying that you, yourself, must come inspect my leaking ceiling or broken sink because it takes you a minimum of two weeks to show up for anything (After repetitive calls and texts).
