Pests and property management
Pros
Location Renovated Convenience
Cons
There is a pest problem here and property mgmt does the bare minimum to address. They send out the pest control people to put down traps/poison and the issue is back a week later. The building access is also not great, it sucks trying to get in the building with your keys.
Advice to the owners
Listen to tenants when they bring up issues
Beware of owner
Pros
I liked the building before it sold
Cons
Advertising illegal basement rooms as bedrooms When I lived in this building there was an issue with German roaches, extreme heat on the basement level rooms which were/are actually not legally able to be listed as bedrooms but are advertised as such. Also the living room window on the ground floor simply fell out. It was held in place with duct tape until it could be replaced which took some time, so so much for feeling safe. Paper thin walls Great location, but moved out because the owner at the time increased the rent by 55% as a scare tactic to get residents to move out without contestation.
Advice to the owners
Be a human
