-No way to contact mgmt except through portal (“what do I do if it floods?” “Idk send a msg thru the portal”)
-Building itself has permanent garbage/rat issue because there is no space to put garbage except out front.
-First/ground floor apartments are super dark. -Front window facing rooms stay cold no matter how high you turn the heat & bake the other rooms in the process
-Lady on top floor told me they took months to fix a serious water leak

Poor management
