Insane rent increase
Pros
Location, nice windows
Cons
Our rent went up 90-something percent in less than three years (from a Covid “deal” initially but still). Nice location but, at least a year ago, there were wanna be DJs that had access to the courtyard so their music would be blasting for hours and reverberating through the whole building - basically had 311 on speed dial. Lots of rats in the trash area. The dryers were “out of order” (fully not working) for almost two years and I never got a response from management (despite emailing several times) about the status.

Roaches in walls, theft, crazy neighbors
Pros
Good location in proximity to bars, good views into the park, large room size for EV
Cons
-roach infestation in the walls that we could NOT get rid of, they would have babies in the trash can, come out in hundreds in the middle of the night and there was nothing we could do (we kept the apartment spotless, hired outside exterminators, put duct tape over all gaps, nuked place with Raid) because the infestation in the walls was so bad -some older neighbors on top floor who have lived there forever and are violent and mentally ill - purposefully destroy packages because they don’t like the mail boxes being used to receive mail -centipedes galore -raised rent by over 56% one year with less than 60 days notice
