Crappy construction and bad management
Former Tenant
Pros:
The apartments themselves are nice—the building is not
Cons:
Paper thin walls, 1st floor window smashed in in early 2024 (and not fully repaired for far too long), bug problem (not addressed until it was too late, despite tenant complaints), loud tenants, dim hallways, generally an unpleasant place to live
Advice to owner:
Invest in exterminators BEFORE it's a problem and listen to your tenants
