Reviews

Former tenant·14 hours ago

Super is Terrible landlord is worse, building is Dirty neighbors are loud !

Pros

None it’s dirty and falling apart. The landlord doesn't not fix anything and the super doesn’t know how to do anything. They never paint or clean and we never have heat or hot water!

Cons

The building doesn’t get cleaned repairs take a long time and when they do it’s not a great job. The neighbors play loud music all the time no matter what day and time. No heat or hot water!

Advice to the owners

Sell to the building you guys bought us in 2019 and the building has been in the worst condition since then.
