Reviews

Former tenant·1 month ago

Horrible Management and Roaches

Pros

central heat and AC never failed

Cons

unresponsive management that did not pay electric for the building (ie. hallway/electric doorbell) washer constantly broken roaches everywhere and no pest control visits

Former tenant·5 months ago

Do not move here

Pros

Affordable, good neighborhood/close to M/J and L

Cons

The owner does not care about this building at all. There is mold in the pipes that does not go away, no matter how many times we treat it, the problem is so wide spread and in all the apartments. Pest are not common but not well managed either, have seen house centipedes in the apartment and hallways. Moving into the apartment, it was dirty and gross, the tenants before left it a wreck and management did not care. You can hear everything, being so close to KeyBar, you will be able to hear the music and what your neighbors are up to. The insulation is bad, having big windows is great for natural light but horrible in the winter cold. For over a month the front door to the building was broken and it wasn’t until someone threaten to report, did they finally fix it, literally the door couldn’t close and the handle kept coming right off. II know it might seem worth it for rent on the cheaper side but this place is a mess.

Advice to the owners

Fix the mold problem. Seriously. You already have enough lawsuits on your hands.
