Mold problem
Former Tenant
Pros:
Modern features, good location, roof access, lots of street parking
Cons:
Tons of mold and water damage. Management was very slow responding to leaks and other plumbing issues. Some issues are still unresolved.

Moldy and Leaky
Former Tenant
Pros:
Good location, easy commute to work, near great food
Cons:
Alerted management to the black mold issue in the basement multiple times. Rather than repair it, they just painted over the mold.

I was on a top floor unit and constantly dealing with leaking & water damage that eventually led to a large hole in the living room ceiling. There were also leaks in closets and bathrooms. Management was alerted of the progress of the leaking in the living room but did not do anything to address until there was a large ceiling bubble. At that point, the repair guy came over and cut a hole into the ceiling (without laying down any plastic/protection for our things) and left it like that for nearly two months.

When I moved out, I warned everyone that viewed the apartment that of issues, both verbally & with post-it notes pointing out damage. And yet people rented it while there was a hole in ceiling. I think of those tenets every time it rains because I know it must be causing a waterfall in the living room.
