Avoid This Building at All Costs – A Tenant’s Horrible Experience
Pros
Location. No rodents, yet.
Cons
There are so many issues with this building that it’s hard to know where to start, but here’s the truth every prospective tenant deserves to hear: 1. A Murder Was Covered Up A tenant was brutally murdered inside their apartment, and management deliberately hid this from current and potential renters. We only found out through other means—no notice, no transparency. 2. Persistent Pest Problems After a year of living here, we had a bed bug infestation. It took forever for management to send an exterminator, who then claimed the pests were likely "bird fleas" from pigeons nesting on the balconies. Despite this, the building refuses to install proper screens, leaving units exposed to mold risks and pests. 3. Negligent & Cheap "Repairs" Instead of replacing a broken doorknob, maintenance "fixed" it four or more times by just tightening it. Management cuts corners at every turn and blames tenants to avoid sending help. 4. No Super, No Accountability They fired the building superintendent without warning, leaving us with no reliable maintenance support. When asked who the replacement super is (supposedly from a nearby building), they couldn’t even provide an answer. 5. Missing Basic Amenities While other buildings have compost bins, ours doesn’t. The owner’s brother owns the neighboring building, which recently got washers, dryers, and an Amazon Hub—meanwhile, our front door is broken and traps people inside, yet they won’t fix it. 6. Predatory Leasing Practices The leasing office bullies tenants and raised our rent by $350 last year with no justification. They prioritize profit over people, ignoring violations and pushing legal limits to exploit renters. (Just to name a few) Final Verdict: Stay Far Away This building is a nightmare of neglect, secrecy, and greed. Save yourself the stress and danger—look elsewhere.
