Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

Cheaply made and bad management

Pros

It was cheap

Cons

It was cheaply built. Could hear EVERYTHING from your neighbors. Ceilings leaked. Bad windows. Management was beyond incompetent. Gas was out for nearly a year.

Advice to the owners

Fix your cheap building so it can be livable.

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

Management would always send someone but never resolve

Pros

Seems nice at first

Cons

-Raised rent 67% percent after first year which is effectively an eviction as no ones salary gets raised close to that amount -apartment flooded with three feet of water due to no drainage did nothing except send someone with a mop -no heat down stairs they just gave us space heater but that drove up Our electricity bill -whenever we had an issue they would send someone quickly but that person would just tell us there is nothing they can do -ceiling Definetly not seven feet in basement -occassional of roaches (water bugs) including finding one in our mail box (it didnt always close properly!) -ceiling would leak -management had weird quiet hour rules

Advice to the owners

Nothing—continue being slumlords and exploiting folks by enforcing an almost 70 percent increase
