Unresponsive and unreliable landlord
Pros
Neighbors were nice. Location was fairly good, across the street from a strip mall with a grocery store, pharmacy, and a parking lot. 10 min walk to Broadway subway stop
Cons
Excessive water damage which led to a relentless roach and bug issue. Very drafty; the rooms were tough to keep at a comfortable temperature. Whenever anything broke we had to fight tooth and nail to get it fixed. And things hardly ever got fixed the first time
Advice to the owners
Be more responsive and take care of your property that is slowly falling apart
Lack of Care From Management Group Ruins Great Space
Pros
- Great space for myself and my two roommates. Big room, big living area, nice kitchen - Friendly super and friendly neighbors + neighborhood
Cons
- Cockroach issues that caused me severe anxiety and were not dealt with properly despite many, many asks. We were killing multiple medium-sized roaches per day and big, big ones weekly - Mold in the walls due to water damage - Lack of responsiveness from management group on serious issues (roach problems, water damage, broken sink, plumbing problems in bathroom...I could go on)
Advice to the owners
Put the effort in to make the space a more comfortable spot for your tenants. That's not asking for too much, I don't think. The lack of empathy on dealing with pest issues was astounding and I can honestly say I've never dealt with anything so infuriating. I have been out of the apartment for a month and I still have nightmares about it. Besides my anxiety from this, the potential health problems that come as a result of pests and water damage are obvious to anyone. Figure it out for the future.
