Former tenant·1 month ago

looks are deceiving

Pros

only good thing was the people in the neighborhood are friendly. only ONE of the supers is always outside cleaning and working you can definitely see he cares and puts in a lot of time.

Cons

units are not clean, there’s is mold in bathroom and kitchen and laundry units, you can hear rats inside the walls all times of the night, the unit itself is updated just really not taken care of by management.

Advice to the owners
