Decent enough place to live
Former Tenant
Pros:
It was a place to live, very convenient, nice nieghborhood
Cons:
You can tell it's been shoddily renovated; windows and light fixtures would leak when it rained.

Beware of this whole corporation!
Former Tenant
Pros:
They work with you, until they get what they want from you. The people in the building are friendly.
Cons:
There’s a washer and dryer on site, but it doesn’t wash your clothes properly, because it doesn’t get cleaned or anything. There’s a roach and spider problem in the apartments as well. Management also harasses tenants to illegally evict them. They’ve shut tenants gas off for 2 months; had random men come with weapons at late hours knocking for them to leave the building. They’ve even given a fake lease to someone else, to have them move in the apartment with the current tenants, to force them out. They’re very unethical, just look up Yoel Goldman real estate.
Advice to owner:
Be better people, you reap what you sow.
