Reviews

Former tenant·Over 3 years ago

Mostly good, could use some improvements

Pros

building is safe, neighbors are fine, and the heat & hot water are good

Cons

it takes them a few days to turn on the heat when it gets cold. Management is not very responsive, problems take a while to get fixed (if they get fixed) though it’s usually nothing major

Advice to the owners

Be more proactive and maybe find better management
