The Neighborhood Doesn’t Make Up For Your Unsafety In This Building

Pros

Beautiful neighborhood. Transportation access exceptional.

Cons

This building is currently housing a long term violent tenant that harasses and abuses women and elderly. There has been no movement to evict this individual. Be very wary if you are moving into this building.

Advice to the owners

Take swift action with protecting tenants per the promises of the lease agreement.

Reliable place to live

Pros

Quiet, well maintained building

Cons

Boiler broke multiple times over the winter, with hot water and heat being out. But never lasted more than 24 hours. Management could be more responsive to emails.
