Some great apartments, awful management and owners
Former Tenant
Pros:
Some apartments renovated and in great condition, generally friendly neighbors in building. Most (all?) have private washer/dryer and dishwasher. Building used to be full of long term renters and now is constant turn over.
Cons:
They do not keep up with building maintenance, trash area left messy and cardboard left in lobby. Not on top of apartment requests for maintenance issues. The building owner is a large property group that’s in it for money only, does not care about the people at all, and has forced many people out of this building and others by price or refusing to offer a lease. Would steer clear because of management and owners alone.
Advice to owner:
Clean the floors frequently, manage the space better, open the roof access

New owner and it is all down hill from there!
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great location, nice apartment, great neighbors.
Cons:
Ownership changed and the building and its unit were immediately viewed as cash cows. Funded by the texas board of education fund this was one of the hundreds of buildings bought with the sole goal to seek returns on investment. McNam management is a sham, they are just a shell inside of a larger organization and even that name has changed to Firestone management now so I hear. They are impossible to reach, send emails via no response addresses, and have a wildly complacent super who also cannot be reached. The building used to be cleaned once a month and pest control was sent around once a month. Now the super is rarely at the building, it hasn't been cleaned in years, pest control and sends random workers to deal with overflowing garbage. Yet they raise rents by extreme amounts year over year. When I fire broke out on the roof in 2021 they expressed no concern for the tenant's safety and focused quickly on trying to lay blame. I heard this used to be a building full of long-term tenants but like myself, there is a year-to-year changeover. I have even heard that some people hoping to renew were not given the legal notice, then only received increases but no lease. It's a tragedy to see this happen to more and more buildings around the city.
Advice to owner:
Treat people better, treat the apartments like homes and not stocks.
