Good but can be better
Former Tenant
Pros:
The super, John was always responsive and helpful. Large apartments for a good value. Rent increases were very reasonable
Cons:
Bugs became an issue and the landlord consistently downplayed the problem but I never saw him come by to check it out.
Advice to owner:
Be a bit more hands on. When I spoke with the landlord I often felt like I was given the go-around on how issues are solved and he often told me “these things aren’t easy to fix, etc.” but it’s his job to facilitate those fixes and I had to live there through it, so there was just a lack of empathy. I don’t think this was the intention but that’s how it felt

Don’t move here if you care about quality of life
Former Tenant
Pros:
Large apartment, elevator, minimal roaches (but still some) as long as you don’t live next to a trash room.
Cons:
Horrible property management. Washer and dryer are BROKEN. Front door is BROKEN. When I moved in, we had no bedroom door, broken windows, broken oven, broken bathroom lock, broken pipes under the sink, and more. Was told they would be fixed before we moved in. THEY WERE NEVER FIXED!! Our sink leaked the entire time we lived there. We had to keep a bucket under the sink and dump it out every couple of days.
Tenants on our floor were criminals - stole packages, harassed us, constantly fought each other (verbally and physically) in the hallway, even peed on our door :) management kept assuring they were trying to get them out but offered no protection. Management tried to trick us into signing another lease. Bottom line - THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR TENANTS. I had such high stress levels living there. I started walking into the building holding pepper spray (never had to use it thank god). This doesn’t even scratch the surface of the mental torture it was to live there. I’m just glad we could get out before things escalated further.
Also - the repair crew they sent to fix the oven laughed at me and told me I didn’t know how an oven worked. The thing wouldn’t even cook a frozen pizza!!! Building owners like this need to face the consequences of their poor decisions. DONT RENT HERE.
Advice to owner:
Get a real superintendent and fix your goddamn building. You’re clearly in it for the money. It is your responsibility as building owners to provide SAFE AND CLEAN HOUSING for your tenants and you are utterly failing.
