Former tenant·9 minutes ago

The management is out to lunch

Pros

- Location - Natural light - Neighbors

Cons

Besides the paper thin walls, ceilings, and floors, the real issue is with management. It took management months to fix radiator issues- noxious odor, sleep disruption from cracking and banging all through the night, and that's when they were "working". Often you were just left to freeze. It took the building making a group chat and coordinating to get any action- one tenant even abandoned his unit because his sleep disruption was so bad. The other primary issue was package theft. It was constant throughout my entire lease and they did nothing about it. We petitioned for the camera footage that is aimed directly at the drop off and they strung us along for over half a year until saying the camera had been broken and not captured anything. The doors were constantly broken. On top of that, any normal requests took ages to get handled if they were handled at all. The only exception is when all it was required was the super's time- the super was great.

Good management but with rats and roaches

Pros

Management is super responsive and helpful to any requests you may have.

Cons

The trash area is not very well maintained and attracts rats. They have a pest inspection once a month but roaches continue to be a problem.
