Rent raise for renewal was a lot for what we are getting here
Kafkaesque room with a view
Pros
Unparalleled Location w/ Elevator that mostly works Immensely kind, responsive super Big windows
Cons
Let me just put it this way. My refrigerator broke and it took them 4 months to replace it...with a model that was too wide to sit flush against the wall, taking up a ton of space. That was in February, and now it's fall. When I call maintenance it goes to voicemail, which is pretty standard for the three years I've lived in this place. Other neighbors have had similar problems getting repairs done in a timely manner. Oh yeah, and the oft-discussed roaches. The best you can do is to set down some of those gel traps and use the exterminator services each month, regardless if you see a bug or not. You will almost DEFINITELY see bugs; it's just a question of whether it's a daily jumpscare or monthly/seasonally if you're lucky.
Advice to the owners
Treat tenants like people and give Pedro a gd raise!!!
