Horrible management company, great neighborhood
Pros
This building is in a beautiful location and everyone who lives in the building is kind and neighborly.
Cons
The management company is absolutely horrible. They are completely unresponsive and only care about profit. When I lived there, they refused to address basic concerns and attempted to raise the rent by a horrifying percentage every year. I would not recommend living in this building because of the negligence of management.
Constant maintenance, old building with common pests
Pros
Location, friendly neighbors.
Cons
Update: roaches inside unit and hallway. Apparently mgmt is aware of a roach problem outside our building but no one’s informed us and not sure what action is being taken. Unlikely to reach management, they don’t care and will leave maintenance requests pending for months. Be persistent with super, most things the building is responsible for you’ll have to fix yourself if you want it done in reasonable time. Multiple no-shows for repairs, lots of waiting around with no communication which can be frustrating. Boiler had to be replaced but my radiators weren’t on until mid November. One needed repair and was a pain to coordinate getting it fixed. Monthly exterminator but no one uses it in their unit.
Advice to the owners
Take care of maintenance requests and rank them by priority/urgency. Especially ones related to tenant SAFETY and also plumbing or leaks. It disrupts us from going about our day and responsibilities. Do more to take care of pests in and around the building!
