Management Company is the only issue
Pros
The building is great, both location and our unit. It is decent for the neighborhood
Cons
management company tried to send a broker three times (a did a tour once without permission) to list our apartment while we had a lease and right after we signed a new year-long lease. One of the brokers they contracted called us after the fact to let us know this company did stuff like this all the time so to be careful. They also raise the rent every year and are not receptive to any negotiating.
Great area, terrible management
Pros
The super is nice and helpful however, it may take him a few days to respond. Overall nice apt w in unit washer/dryer. Building is quite and everyone (mostly) respects one another.
Cons
Overpriced and cheaply made. Entire floor in one of the (4) rooms had to be torn up and replaced (because bad piping caused entire room to fill with thick steam and floors were bending). Construction took over a month, making that room entirely unusable and tracked dirt and dust through the apt. When we reached out to management ab a decrease in rent because of inability to use 1/4 of the apt for over a month, we received no response. Then got faced with a 50% rent increase for renewal. No control over heat, even w radiator off the hot water pipes (running up the walls and in closet) would cause anything nearby to melt and made it so hot during the winter, AC was still necessary. Packages tend to get stolen if you don’t keep a close eye on them.
Advice to the owners
Don’t increase rent on tenants like that, especially after ignoring requests to decrease rent because one roommate entirely had to move out for over a month due to their renovations.
