Reviews

Former tenant·7 minutes ago

Great building, poor management

Pros

Great super, clean, large apartment, elevator is clean and almost always works

Cons

Management team is both unresponsive and unavailable; laundry room is very expensive and always half of the machines are broken; rent increases are significant each renewal period

Advice to the owners

If you'd like to keep good tenants, you may want to be more available and present. I understand that Joann may be the gatekeeper, but she doesn't represent the building well.
