    Decent Building could improve on some things
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great location, affordable laundry on site
    Cons:
    Vandalism, Packages get stolen constantly because of broken lock in front door at times
    Advice to owner:
    Invest in perhaps installing security cameras in the building to prevent package theft.

    Needs improvement
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Convenient location
    Right across post office
    Lots of sunlight in rooms
    Big rooms
    Quiet during the day
    Cons:
    Lots of trash scattered around the hallways & elevator and front entrance
    Neighbors shout a lot
    Oswaldo, the súper, is unavailable and impossible to reach
    Composting has ceased
    There are no smoke detectors in hallways nor fire extinguishers
    Electricity bills are very high
    Advice to owner:
    There is a huge maintenance problem at this location. The building is covered with grime and could use with new lighting. It’s scary to come to the building at night as you can barely see. I wish they would paint the hallways a brighter color. Also the apartments efficiency rating is at a 59/100, a C. Electricity bills are very high and that’s with making sure all applicances are disconnected at night. There are so many improvements that could be done but it seems Heights Realty does not care to allocate funds for their tenants hard work.
