Reviews

Former tenant·Over 3 years ago

Very nice apartments - lots of space.

Pros

Close to the 2, quiet, lots of light, can't hear the neighbors.

Cons

Don't count on management fixing anything without a fight.

Advice to the owners

Put 5 grand into basic maintenance and new appliances and you'll make it back in a well-deserved rent increase.

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

No one answers to anything

Pros

It’s a townhouse style building , not too many neighbors . Cheap rent .

Cons

Everything is old and broken down . The management office helps with nothing , they don’t want to fix anything . When you call in , NORA says , “ that’s not my job” and still won’t give you the person whose job it is . There’s barely hot water , the hallways always dirty , people smoke weed in the hallway . The door is always jammed or broken. Your packages go missing . You’ll have to come out of pocket to fix your own apartment, she really will not put you in contact with anyone that can help you, since she refuses to. Anytime you call , she’s the one that answers, only. There’s no other numbers or listings to contact the actual super or landlord and she’s disgusting in nature , just rude and dismissive , she needs to go !!! This has been going on for more than 7/8 years now . I can’t tell you how many times I’ve called 311 , but still nothing is fixed , cleaned or changed .

Advice to the owners

Hire a new management team and maintenance workers too ! Your current ones don’t give a crap about us and we’ve been complaining for forever !
