Very dishonest and unstable landlord

Pros

Great neighborhood, that’s it.

Cons

The landlord, Sarah (Sae Young) Min is very dishonest and seems mentally unwell. Refuses to get trash cans even though the city fines her $300 every week.

Great Location, Decent to Okay Amenities

Property manager can be slow to respond but usually will eventually. Non tenants will often drop garbage, food wrappers, and construction materials out front.
