an absolute shame
Former Tenant
Pros:
The only maintenance guy I ever see is the only light in this very dark tunnel. He's incredibly kind and does an amazing job in any way he can.
Cons:
There's never any heat and when you report it they tell you that it's too bad. You can try to file a maintenance request, but who knows how to do that? Jasmine tells you to tell the superintendent, the superintendent tells you to tell Jasmine. The hallways are half-repainted as if they gave up halfway through, and it's been like this for a while. If you don't tell them about a very obvious problem they won't fix it.
Advice to owner:
Sell these buildings to a better property owner or get new management altogether please, urgently. Neighbors in nearby buildings have asked me if this was section 9 housing.......
