    Overall not bad but would not renew
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great Location, love the neighborhood. there are washer/dryer units but it’s a combo machine and does not work very efficiently/has broken multiple times.
    Units are a good size and the top floor has a lot of light with skylights.
    Nice roof access
    Cons:
    maintenance issues go through a different company so it is not easy to fix issues quickly. .
    We had major issues with another tenant causing disturbances and threatening my roommates vandalizing our door and screaming at us, we were promised he would leave but eventually he left on his own accord. It was very scary for us and management pretty much did nothing, told us to call cops, not helpful.
    Advice to owner:
    Replace appliances when needed, and take tenants safety seriously

    Not worth the new rent but pretty nice building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Amenities are great including roof, is you threaten the landlord they will fix stuff.
    Building is pretty clean
    Cons:
    Neighbors are genuinely scary. One of them was selling drugs and threatening girls and management didn’t do anything.
    The rooms are also super small and walls are thin
