Former tenant·11 months ago

A lot of issues

Pros

Location is great. Very close to the train Neighbors are mostly quiet and polite Rent hasn’t been raised much Landlords were flexible during emergencies and covid

Cons

Rent is high for almost no amenities. Repairs will never get done until a new tenant comes in. This a major issue. Some repairs are very urgent and management essentially won’t pay for them. Many units have had mold problems.

Advice to the owners

Pay for repairs for current tenants; clean the building regularly; have regular terminator visits
