    Real World: Ridgewood
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Building is in a safe area and close to things, including trains, grocery stores, and restaurants. Ridgewood is a fun neighborhood.
    Cons:
    Management is very unresponsive. We have to chase them down to fix most issues. Some of our neighbors were also incredibly loud and fought all the time.
    Advice to owner:
    Don't delete maintenance tickets before actually solving the issue...
