    Moving After The Lease Is Up
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Rent was cheep and nice for a first apt for a bunch of college students but there were a lot of problems that are hard to over look.
    Cons:
    Neighbors play loud music every weekend

    Unresponsive landlord and super

    Packages frequently stolen

    Apparently pests in the building bug I’ve never seen any

    Poor trash management

    Loud pipes at all hours on
    Advice to owner:
    Be move actively involved in your property, it takes months to receive any maintenance. And make packages easier to receive because they are often left in the lobby and stolen
