building management doesn't care about you
Pros
clean, recently renovated, tree lined street, laundry in the basement (but costs an arm and a leg)
Cons
when i had a leak in my apartment, no one gave a damn. it took months of nonstop complaining to get anyone to take a look at it, and it leaked profusely every time it rained. on top of being negligent, they increased our rent and seemed confused as to why we wanted to move out. plus sound travels in an extreme way and the whole building feels like a college dorm. super frustrating experience overall and i can't be more relieved to be GONE. oh, and they still haven't returned my security deposit!
Advice to the owners
be more responsive to your tenants! terrible company that couldn't care less.
Terrible management company
Pros
Lovely tree lined street, quiet, great sage colored walls
Cons
The management company is awful. They do not handle building issues. Laundry did not work for an entire year and they never fixed it or decreased rent. The walls of the building are the thinnest I’ve ever experienced. You can hear your neighbor’s conversations word for word. Overpriced and not as great as it seems. *EDIT* they fixed the laundry after a year and a half only to increase the price to $10 for a full cycle ($5 for a wash, $5 for a dry) and the machines are small. There is also an ant problem now that their resolution is giving you a can of raid. The building continues to decline in quality. It’s rough.
Advice to the owners
Just do your job. You continue to increase rent year after year with the quality steadily declining. Nothing is improving, so why are we paying more? The laundry situation feels like a direct slap to the face.
