VERY thin walls. You can hear literally everything your neighbors do. Very unfortunate when your bedroom wall is shared with your neighbor’s kitchen, especially when they blare music at all hours. Some units have very narrow kitchens. Elevator has broken down many times. Issues with cold water rather than warm water—default water temperature is hot. Similarly, washers and dryers run hotter than normal.

Respond and resolve tenant issues in a timely fashion, rather than throwing up your hands. Basic violations of a tenant’s lease should be dealt with effectively.

Good location
Good lighting
Common areas always clean

This building is absolutely awful. We have had tons of problems since moving in, and the management company was uncommunicative and unhelpful. It seems like they were recently fired and a new management company is replacing them, so we'll see how that goes.

Also, in mid-January, they cut the gas to the building, with no real time frame about when we'll be getting gas again.

Super is erratic and randomly screams at tenants. To be fair, he has a hard job.

Put a little more effort into maintaining the building and apartments.
