Nightmare Slum Lord

Pros

Really great finishes in my unit. Dark wood floors, new stone counters and a super updated bathroom

Cons

Absolutely terrible slumlord management. Had to call 911 multiple times because bldg front door wouldn’t open. Went without heat for months. Rats in the trash room and could hear them in the walls

Advice to the owners

Sell and let someone else manage this bldg

Pros

Fairly new, didn’t see any mice.

Cons

Management was awful. Never responded. Never provided a contact for the super (if there was one).
