NEED TO DO BETTER

Pros

My neighbors are pretty good. Rent is okay , mainly if you've been here for over 20 years

Cons

Rats get in everywhere Mold Leaks from roof and old piping Management doesn't like to make r actual repairs, just patch work. Hallways are painted prison colors Elevators need to be replaced but again patch work Garage is leaky and terribly maintained Rats Roaches Laundry machines are not cleaned regularly R cracks walls from water damage Security is lacking

Advice to the owners

Take away the prison colors Hire security that actually works Make needed repairrs and not patchwork
