Low rent price is too good to be true / Broke lease after 6 months
Pros
Large spacious unit Laundry in building Gym in building (with fee)
Cons
No parking available to rent despite unused parking spots Very bad cockroach problem!! Pest control is provided by the building but it does not deter any bugs Additional charge for owning an a/c unit Nauseating odors coming from the hallways Water pressure is incredibly low Balconies are unusable from bug infestation Management is available but unable to resolve any issues stated Uncomfortable interactions with maintenance workers Felt unsafe and unsanitary
Changing a lot
Pros
Affordable rent and spacious apartment.
Cons
Trash room is in the basement. Trash chutes can’t take normal kitchen sized trash bags. Roaches in common areas (elevators, laundry room, hallways). Elevators break down constantly. The building has 23 or 24 floors so when there is only 1 working elevator you end up waiting 10-30 minutes for an elevator. Sometimes longer. Packages mislabeled often. Rent is paid via mail in check and they often do not update payments on time so you will get an invoice each month that states you owe rent when you do not. Although you must mail in the rent, they only provide invoices and receipts by placing it in envelope and putting it underneath your apartment door. Every few weeks the water is turned off for the majority of the day because of plumbing repairs. The bathroom vent is outdated and lets in huge water bugs. Sometimes debris backlogs into bathtubs/ sinks.
Advice to the owners
Please move to online rent payment portal, provide more times for the package rooms, and keep elevators in working condition.
