Advice to the owners
Do better
Terribly managed
Pros
The neighbors in this building are all very nice.
Cons
Rodents throughout the building, cockroaches and bed bugs. Trash is not cleaned up and hallways are lined up with trash daily, so the rodents thrive in this environment. Elevator is broken very often and left unfixed for weeks on end. There are a few tenants with walking disabilities that have to suffer using the stairs because the management of the building does not care to take care of the building/ living conditions. Management is very rude and unresponsive and very unreliable.
Advice to the owners
Get a new management company.
