2 Year Tenant

Former Tenant

Pros:

Live-In Super is typically responsive if you call, however maintenance and fixes can still take up to a week.

Stairs are cleaned every now and then (2x a year maybe?)

Pest control every month

Large roof access

Amazing location - several restaurants, coffee, laundromat and grocery options

Nice neighbors - a mix of students and long time tenants

Cons:

Lots of rats on the street, especially on trash days

Sometimes they close off access to the roof, and install a super loud alarm that is triggered by sound

I lived in 6th floor, so walking up and down was a hassle.

Heat can be really strong, and you can control it.

Advice to owner:

None

Do not live here

Former Tenant

Pros:

Located on a quiet street as it is a dead end street.

Cons:

Everything. RATS! Landlord still has yet to return our security deposit. It’s has been OVER 6 months! They won’t even respond to us. Very unprofessional. Do not keep the building up. We certainly overpaid for what we had.

Advice to owner:

Respond to your tenants and return security deposits that you are required to give back.
