    Nice people, horrible building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    - The people are nice, tight community and they care about each other
    Cons:
    - Horrible management, completely unresponsive and lies to their elderly tenants about things like raising the rent
    - Filled with every pest you can imagine (roaches, bedbugs, rats, spiders, ROACHES, centipedes). I woke up with a centipede crawling on my neck once
    - Elderly neighbor had her ceiling cave in and was being harassed by someone in the building, management refused to help
    - Frequent lack of heat/hot water
    - Elevators always broken, people frequently got trapped, may as well have been a walkup
    - Stairwells unclean and unsafe (one had blood on the doors, usually urine in the landings)
    - Front door usually unlocked/broken
    Advice to owner:
    Start caring about the people who live in your building and supporting your super.

    Horrible, horrendous.
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
    Cons:
    - The super is inaccessible and rude. His family is loud and make my stay here hell.
    - The management company is incompetent.
    - Mold, spider infestation, toilet leaks, sink leaks, no bars on the windows, windows can be opened from the OUTSIDE, loud music constantly, no heat.
    I could go on but you get the gist!
    Advice to owner:
    Close your business.
