Pros:
Nice outdoor space, the deli guys are wonderful and take your packages, pretty good location.
Cons:
In the summer there was demolition one block over and the outdoor space developed a big rat problem. They tried to make a nest under the outdoor furniture and we saw and heard several scurrying around every night. It took several requests for the owner to send someone to put out traps and several more requests to get someone to take them, they were never replaced. The apartment also regularly got below 60 degrees and as low as 45 degrees during the winter. Heat and hot water are controlled by the owner. The owner refused to address the issue after repeated requests. Owner increased the rent by about 9 percent after one year and an additional 6 percent the following year.
Advice to owner:
Check in with your tenants, especially if they say something is wrong. Stop trying to squeeze as much money as you can out of every tenant and just be a person.
