Good management and good pest control.
Pros
This is a really good building, I’ve lived in two different apartments in this building bc I didn’t want to leave! There is monthly extermination and very responsible management. I believe the landlord’s mother is living in the building, so it’s a pretty well kept building!
Cons
The hallways and stairwell is not super clean, and some of the tiles on the stairs are loose. The landlord still raised rent during 2020 and has never not raised rent by over $100. So be wary of committing to live here for many years.
Management will try and scam you out of security deposit
Pros
Management is responsive and quick to make repairs while you are a tenant Neighbors are great and respectful Quiet area
Cons
Owner will attempt to increase the rent frequently and sometimes be amounts that exceed 5% no room for negotiation All communication from management ceased when I requested back my security deposit. After over a month of no response despite multiple outreaches I begin to fear (probably correctly) that it was the owners intention was to scam me out of it. It took a letter from my lawyer to get my first response in a month and a half of silence and even then the owner informed me was keeping a “cleaning fee” of $250 even though the apartment was left in broom swept condition. The super pressured me into returning apartment early as a favor to him so he could begin painting early (I unfortunately complied) Was not given a walk through even when I requested a walk through Requested I be informed to what level they would like the apartment cleaned before I moved out and was ignored Itemized receipts for the owners “cleaning fee” not included with the deduction.
Advice to the owners
Learn to treat people better and ingoring your clients is not a good way to do business
