Complaints about noise levels, cold apartments, and poor heating systems are prevalent, along with inadequate storage space.

    Good for a year, bad for anything more
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Nice, renovated touches for a pre-war building. Didn't feel embarrassed bringing guests here.
    Cons:
    Poor insulation. Theft. Apathetic management. Cockroaches in building. Laundry set up is inadequate to support all tenants. Rooms are cramped.
    Advice to owner:
    Listen to your tenants when they tell you there's an issue with the room. We are people, not dollar signs.
