Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

My perspective living here

Pros

The super and his crew work real hard to manage the building and to provide a comfortable living environment for us all. The garbage area was filthy but now its more neat and easier to throw out my trash.

Cons

I've been stuck in the elevator multiple of times and I know it needs to be renovated. The elevator assistance button inside doesn't work and the times that I was stuck, I started to have anxiety because I was claustrophobic. I truly know it should be upgraded but it won't because of the cost. Always during the winters heat is a big issue. Some days in the winter I wouldn’t get heat in my apartment as-well as hot water issues.

Advice to the owners

Can you please upgrade the elevator for the safety of the tenants.

Hazardous to tenants

Pros

Great neighbors and neighborhood. Close to all personal needs - supermarket, fast food, stores, transportation, and banking.

Cons

Too many pest ( rodents/roaches) in the back alley and inside the building. Poor customer services from management when it comes to repairs and hazards to resident. Too many drug users wandering around the garbage alley. Too many accidents/occurence as crack piles, 3-4 apartment fires in the last 5 years, crack walls, robbery, and water leaks.
