Lovely but needs work
Former Tenant
Pros:
The maintenance man did a great job at upkeeping the building, and it was mostly very clean. I felt safe and welcomed in the building.
Cons:
- The management raises rents tremendously to the point they’re pushing out good tenants. -Management takes a long time to answer emails especially about repairs or concerns. It’s best to get someone’s number to speak directly.
Advice to owner:
Value your tenants and don’t just look at them as dollar signs. Take accountability for your wrong doings. Make sure all apartments are cleaned and there are no past due bills. A new apartment it is a fresh start for tenants and we don’t need the additional stress.

The management of this 8 unit building is completely UNRESPONSIVE!
Former Tenant
Pros:
Nothing! The rooms were incredibly small, RATS all over the front and back of building. People were somewhat freiendly.
Cons:
EVERYTHING! Roof parties untill all hours in violation of Fire Departmrnt safety laws. Prolific drug selling and USE within the building and RATS ALL OVER THE FRONT, THE BACK YARD AND IN THE BASEMENT STORAGE AREAS!
Advice to owner:
They need a FULL TIME manager onsite to deal with ALL these issues!
