Great location but problem with cleanliness
Pros
The location is ideal; each apartment is a decent size with huge bedrooms; the super is responsive and fixes things in a timely manner; neighbors are all really nice (mostly 20s/early 30 year olds)
Cons
Problem with mice (we had the super come multiple times to spray/set traps but were never able to fully resolve the issue); cockroaches/bugs occasionally found their way into the apartment; the apartment is very damp and we had multiple issues with mold
Advice to the owners
Apartment is probably in need of an inspection and remodel to completely resolve mice and mold issue
absolutely disgusting and unsafe
Pros
There was a Trader Joe’s and TJ Maxx across the street. That’s it. Everything else was disgusting and unsafe.
Cons
- Mice infestation which owner refused to find a solution for other than mice traps. I fell asleep to the sound of mice squeaking every night. Couldn’t even cook because they lived in the stoves and would poop in our kitchenware. - Roaches - Got locked INSIDE our apartment because lock didn’t work and it took them a whole day to come fix the door so we can get out. - Window frame popped out. - Black gunk coming out of sink. - Toilet flooding out of nowhere - Black water dripping from ceiling everytime it rained even though we lived on the bottom floors - Owner lying he’s a lawyer to intimidate us even though he’s not - Black gunk on floor that wouldn’t come out no matter what. - Uneven heat distribution. One room would feel like an oven and the other would be freezing cold. - Walls are detached from floor. Big gap for mice and roaches to come in. - Refused to give us the second set of keys for A WHOLE MONTH. - Floor are uneven.
Advice to the owners
Get rid of the whole building. It’s a health and safety hazard. And don’t be a landlord if you refuse to take care of major issues. If the Department of Health & Safety constantly do checks on your tenants, YOU ARE THE PROBLEM.
