Good at First
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location (2 blocks from Ferry - local SI bus stop out front) Super really cared and tried his best to keep things up
Cons:
Bad neighborhood (Cops constantly at our building or across the street) Bad neighbors (Again - cops responded frequently to our bldg for domestics/drugs) Constant Roach/Mice problem that "pest control" did anything about if they even showed up at all Janitor/Porter made myself and other women in the building uncomfortable through constant unwanted advances. When advances were denied he got rude/aggressive
Advice to owner:
Take better care of your buildings and your tenants
