STAY AWAY-Majid/Jerry & underlings do not like to do the right thing.

Pros

Location Location Location

Cons

Harassment Michael Himy-harasses tenants-borderline illegal actions filthy premises rats bugs no recycling leaks does bare minimum unless legally has to

Advice to the owners

'Jerry' aka MAJID, stop saying if you don't like it leave & do the right & legal things. New tenants yell in hall, leave garbage, packages, possible money & drug mules, 1 tenant arrested for attempted rape, murder, gun possession-DO DUE DILIGENCE & STOP PUTTING IN ILLEGAL AIRBNB'S instead of being greedy.

Do not live here and avoid Apt 4D/2D

Pros

Overall, the neighborhood was great and our neighbors were good. if you are considering renting here, just avoid Unit 4D/2D like the plague.

Cons

Woman who lives in 3D is not well and mentally unstable. she bangs on the ceiling constantly and reports very minimal noise to the police. for the past year the police would constantly come to our apartment for noise complaints. It was horrible and happened almost daily. We had to leave after one year as landlord would not do anything about it. Avoid at all costs.

Advice to the owners

Evict tenant from 3D
