Slumlords who don’t care-Do not return security deposit!!

Pros

Have lived here for 50 years, and it was lovely. Family-friendly. Now it’s poorly managed, uncared for, and falling apart. It’s filthy. They did not return or answer emails regarding the security deposit when my father passed away.

Cons

Heat is awful in the winter; the laundry room is filthy. Management is unresponsive and nasty.

Used to be a grand building

Pros

My immediate neighbors have been here for many years

Cons

Dirty, unresponsive landlords, parking access doors are continuously broken, hence no safety for cars or back door entry access. The elevator and floors are in dire need of cleaning.
