High Potential Hampered by Aggressive Management
Pros
Fantastic location, vastly spacious, delightful architectural detailing, hard wood floors, great light in front and back of house.
Cons
Management (by the name of Sam) made the apartment untenable. Refused to address both a roach and mice problem and left tenants to deal with it alone. After a significant rain storm, the roof began leaking in the kitchen, which management took over a month to fix. When tenants asked management to comply with rental law, management harassed tenants into leaving stating "You won't be happy here. In the winter when it's cold and I don't turn the heat on, I don't want you calling to complain every day."
Advice to the owners
Get a new management company.
Never live here
Pros
nice neighbors, quiet street
Cons
Sam Chopra (Samir Chopra) is a liar, a thief, and a bully. He continually lied to us about why he kept the apt many degrees below the legal temperature limit in winter ("in the olden days, people moved around their apartments more so there was just more air flow, making it warmer.") He said that the ceiling leaking rain into our bathroom was condensation from a shower, he said the water took forever to get warm because "no one else in the building is showering." He kept $1400 of our security deposit illegally and we're having to get a lawyer to help get it back. He said the mold on the ceiling from the leaking roof wasn't mold, it was just tar leaking in from the roof. He said if we reported anything to 311 and it incurred a fee for them, that fee would be added to our rent. Like I said: He's a liar, a thief, and a bully. Also: walls and floors are paper thin. We could hear every sneeze, podcast, and orgasm of our neighbors. It was terrible. The front door makes a huge slamming noise and shakes the whole apartment, even on higher floors. Woke me up every day. The front door doesn't lock automatically, so it was forever open. Also the door handle kept falling off so I kept a tiny screwdriver down there to screw it on myself. Sam only starts and ends every lease on July 24th, meaning everything is terrible all the time. No one moves then. No apartments are ready then. It's cruel and unusual.
Advice to the owners
Stop being a terrible person
