Unresponsive management and roach infested
Pros
- My unit faced the back and was very quiet - Heat and water pressure were great - Location is great
Cons
- While the listing advertised in-building laundry, the laundry they were referring to ended up being a single washing machine in the basement of the building next door that did not work. - I had constant roach issues despite living on the top floor. The exterminators sent by management were not very helpful in resolving the issue - I have a leak in my ceiling due to rain that was eventually fixed, but not before mold developed - The super is incredibly unresponsive
Advice to the owners
Fix the roach problem!
Awful Management Company
Pros
It is a place to live.
Cons
The windows are ill fitted and you can feel cold air blowing through them during the winter time. The radiator does not heat the unit enough to keep it warm, making winters dangerously cold. The washing machines are in a constant state of disrepair. The plumbing is outdated and constantly on the fritz. The cable on the only elevator broke, and ever since the elevator has been down for maintenance with no sign of repair on the horizon. In the summer, the through-wall air conditioner that came with the unit broke and the landlord refused to fix it. The landlord and management company have no interest in being reasonable partners and it shows.
Advice to the owners
Sell the property to another owner who is at least halfway competent.
