Garbage management results vary, but some buildings struggle with odors and upkeep. Heating and water pressure are uneven, often below expectations.

Pros

The apartments are big.

Cons

Everything… the super doesn’t do anything besides one guy that doesn’t even live in the building. Mold and roach galore. The hallways stink, the elevator stink, the stairwell STINK! The tenants clean more then the super.
