Okay apartments, bad management
Pros
fairly quiet, easy trash chute and recycling, dishwasher and laundry in unit
Cons
Most recent management and super is very unresponsive. Super *might* come to check maintenance requests if you’re lucky, but will say they’ll come back and never do. Mice and roaches, leak coming from ceiling. Leak filled the bathroom wall with water and still hasn’t been fixed in a year, could have mold. Windows arent properly insulated and heat in the winter was weak, reaching illegal internal temperatures (had to sleep with ear muffs on). Issues with water turning off randomly, or turned off for hours without prior notice.
Bedbug History, Bad property managers
Pros
Renovated units, w/d in unit! Great water pressure in shower, dishwashers in kitchen, overall cleanliness
Cons
The management company switched property manager at least 4 times over the duration of the 1 year lease, this made it nearly impossible to contact management about issues in the apartment. There was also a switch in supers who was similarly hard to contact. The apartment has a history of bedbugs, when I signed the lease I was told there was a 1 year bed bug history for an apartment two floors below me, which I decided was fine with me. I then got bed bugs from my next door neighbors, and the building exterminator said he had also treated for bed bugs in a vacant apartment the floor above me. Neither of these were disclosed when I signed the lease.
