    too many pests
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    not much going for this place
    Cons:
    Huge pest issue and exterminators hired just come in and put a goop around the apartment (which is ineffective)
    Advice to owner:
    take care of the pest issue please

    Phipps Plaza South
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    View of city skyline
    Renovated modern, air conditioned lobby
    24 Hour console and manned security
    Diverse midtown neighborhood
    Federally funded low income housing
    Cons:
    Very, very low water pressure (hot water and higher floors)
    Laundromat washing machines constantly malfunctioning (tenants lose money)
    Elevators have poor ventilation
    Some maintenance and administrative staff are boldly rude, dishonest and condescending
    Maintenance requests are sometimes ignored for petty, personal reasons
    Upgrades to apartments are given based on favoritism
    A former property manager attempted to evict a family based on falsified information (this person is still employed by Phipps Plaza South)
    Advice to owner:
    The portion of your staff that deals directly with tenants should be professional and courteous at all times. Your staff is blatantly disrespectful and lacking integrity.
