Reviews

Former tenant·51 minutes ago

Fine building- management poorly handles maintenance

Pros

Clean and updated

Cons

I had constant leaks in my apartment from day one of moving in, and lived here over 2 years and it was never fixed. To the point where my entire bathroom flooded and I was left with no answer from the super all weekend. Poorly handled, they clearly were too cheap to fix the root of the problem.

Advice to the owners

Take maintenance requests more seriously.

Thin walls leads to being able to hear neighbors loud music or loud guests
