Reviews

Not great but not terrible
Former Tenant
Pros:
Good location Rarely heard neighbors in (c) openigloo the building
Cons:
Bugs were a constant issue, (c) openigloo management sent pest control several (c) openigloo times but it never made (c) openigloo a difference Appliances had issues In a (c) openigloo relatively noisy area
Advice to owner:
Get rid of the bugs, replace the flooring
Nice place except for the holes in the roof
Former Tenant
Pros:
Nice building and a great (c) openigloo part of town. Super is (c) openigloo a wonderful person.
Cons:
Our ceiling leaked in three (c) openigloo places, with one massive hole (c) openigloo in the bathroom unaddressed for (c) openigloo over six months. The owner (c) openigloo didn’t do anything substantive (and (c) openigloo didn’t tell us about the (c) openigloo leak history), and the property (c) openigloo managers couldn’t have cared less.
Advice to owner:
Fix the roof!

Old building, new management sucks, lovely neighborhood
Former Tenant
Pros:
Neighborhood is awesome. Some of (c) openigloo the apartments finishings are nice.
Cons:
Apartment is small for the (c) openigloo money. New property management sucks. (c) openigloo We’re had a leak ongoing (c) openigloo for years and the old (c) openigloo management and new has dragged (c) openigloo feet on fixing it and (c) openigloo only patched it lightly not (c) openigloo identifying the source. There is (c) openigloo no effort from management to (c) openigloo be accommodating. New management didn’t (c) openigloo even respond about the leak (c) openigloo for 3 weeks. Only once (c) openigloo they started getting calls from (c) openigloo HPD at my request did (c) openigloo they start to address the (c) openigloo issue. Which again has still (c) openigloo not been fixed. When asked (c) openigloo about compensation or rent reduction (c) openigloo for this regular issue. They (c) openigloo referred us to the lease (c) openigloo that says we have to (c) openigloo deal with it ourselves. We (c) openigloo can’t fix the building ourselves (c) openigloo and have been living with (c) openigloo an HPD violation for years. (c) openigloo I wish these companies treated (c) openigloo their tenants like humans rather (c) openigloo than gaslighting and money grubbing.
Advice to owner:
Stop focusing solely on money and start providing good housing for your residents
