Reviews

Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

Decent building but needs work

Pros

Units are roomy, have high ceilings, exposed bricks, and some have recently renovated kitchen units.

Cons

Roaches, mice, and some terrible conditions. At one point in time there was a stair missing in the main corridor. Windows are drafty. Management lies about sending pest control every month.

Advice to the owners

Keep garbage in bins even the garbage on the street. Mice keep getting into the bags and keep coming back for more.
