Pros:
Renovations were cute, location is (c) openigloo obviously amazing and access to (c) openigloo transit was perfect. The unit (c) openigloo I lived in had beautiful (c) openigloo brick wall and washer/dryer in (c) openigloo unit which was sick. Garbage (c) openigloo area was always maintained regularly. (c) openigloo Fire escapes were sturdy so (c) openigloo they were nice to hang (c) openigloo on from time to time. (c) openigloo Neighbors were quiet and kind (c) openigloo but keep in mind this (c) openigloo building does attract a lot (c) openigloo of students so there were (c) openigloo parties here and there.
Cons:
I have a lot of (c) openigloo cons for this place. First, (c) openigloo the man who rents out (c) openigloo units in this building, Randall (c) openigloo Smith, was terrible to work (c) openigloo with. He would never respond, (c) openigloo he never got us in (c) openigloo contact with the super or (c) openigloo landlord so any time there (c) openigloo was an issue with the (c) openigloo unit we had no one (c) openigloo to contact. There were roaches (c) openigloo and mice in the building. (c) openigloo Any time there was anyone (c) openigloo moving furniture or running around (c) openigloo upstairs the brick wall would (c) openigloo crumble and leave dust and (c) openigloo rocks everywhere. We lost 90% (c) openigloo of our deposit over the (c) openigloo most minute damages, like scuffs (c) openigloo in the walls, a mirror (c) openigloo that was left on the (c) openigloo wall, etc. There is no (c) openigloo control of the heat in (c) openigloo that building and the radiators (c) openigloo sit directly beneath windows so (c) openigloo all winter long it was (c) openigloo unbearably hot even with the (c) openigloo windows open. We used to (c) openigloo have roof top access and (c) openigloo the view was beautiful but (c) openigloo at some point the landlord (c) openigloo installed the loudest alarm that (c) openigloo was triggered by motion so (c) openigloo you were no longer able (c) openigloo to get up to the (c) openigloo roof. The apartment I rented (c) openigloo was a really great price (c) openigloo when we got it, and (c) openigloo it is very obvious it (c) openigloo is worth no more than (c) openigloo the price we rented it (c) openigloo for. At the end of (c) openigloo the lease the unit was (c) openigloo put back on the market (c) openigloo for $3,000 higher. Bedrooms were (c) openigloo also made super tiny during (c) openigloo renovations, but then again that (c) openigloo may just have been my (c) openigloo unit. Renovations were also cute (c) openigloo but poorly done and very (c) openigloo cheap. And lastly, we were (c) openigloo never warned when people would (c) openigloo come by our apartment. Maintenance (c) openigloo people, realtors showing prospective tenants, (c) openigloo they would all show up (c) openigloo unannounced.
Advice to owner:
Needs to be in much more regular contact with tenants.
