Very unsanitary building, neglectful management
Pros
Great location, very close to the train, close to 2 parks and cute neighborhoods. The heat is pretty good.
Cons
The building is unsanitary. Over the course of living here for a year, I have encountered bedbugs, rats, mice, and an unending parade of cockroaches despite constant professional and DYI pest control measures. Other units in the building have reported the same infestations. Every week, the trash room -which is open to the street- overflows onto the sidewalk and smells horrible as you enter the building. The hallways and stairwells are dingy, narrow, and smell unpleasant. The management is a large corporate management company which takes no interest in tenants besides getting their names on a lease and collecting checks. It's like pulling teeth to get any sort of response from them.
Never live here
Pros
Renovated apartments (although very poorly renovated they looked nice at move in)
Cons
Building is dirty. Landlord doesn’t answer the phone. Brown water. No hot water. Mice. Roaches. Garbage everywhere. Insecure front door. Painted over sprinkler system and they’ve received constant violations for fire systems not working.
