Management is really unresponsive
Former Tenant
Pros:
Good garbage collection system. Super friendly and helpful super. New appliances. Clean.
Cons:
Really unresponsive management. Management has an attitude. I don’t know who the landlord is. Neighbor’s are incredibly loud, building not sound proof at all.

Enjoyed my time here
Former Tenant
Pros:
Gorgeous buildings—was only the second tenant in my apartment—with stainless steel appliances, tall ceilings and around the corner from the L
Cons:
Neighbors can be really loud and obnoxious at times, but it’s a younger crowd typically and you kind of expect it. As a single young woman, I was creepily approached and borderline sexually harassed by the maintenance man who I believe then became the super. His name is Noel—stay away from him.
Advice to owner:
Fire Noel. He’s a danger to women.

Dehumanizing Tenants During the Pandemic
Former Tenant
Pros:
Washer/dryer in unit, spacious rooms, modern fixtures
Cons:
Inhuman treatment of tenants during the pandemic. Three out of four roommates were unemployed for months and, following the governor’s guidelines, we used our security deposit to cover one month’s rent when our savings were depleted. We even sent a timeline of deposit repayment over the next months. The landlord retaliated by refusing to renew our lease, despite the fact that two roommates had been living there for years and we had never been late with rent, even through the worst of the pandemic. They ignored our attempts at communication and kicked us out without any qualms. We were left scrambling for a new place to live in the middle of a pandemic. The managers of this building are horrible people and they treated us like something less than human. Never ever lease with this company. They do not care about
Advice to owner:
You lost excellent long-term tenants because of your greed and lack of compassion. You left us homeless in the middle of a humanitarian and economic crisis after we had depleted our savings paying you on time—despite our every attempt to find a working solution that benefitted both parties. Find some humanity.

Harassment from the live-in Super
Former Tenant
Pros:
Clean, good natural light, parking isn’t terrible if you have a car.
Cons:
We had to deal with both violent threats and sexual harassment from the live-in super throughout our lease. We asked our neighbors above us if they also had issues with him, and they had also experienced the same problems, telling us the mgmt company denied to handle the issue when they had previously reported it.
