Reviews

Former tenant·7 months ago

My mother suffered the winter with lack of heat and hot water

Pros

Not much to say

Cons

The super of the building is lazy, and does not like to repair the problems that the apartments have.

Advice to the owners

My mother who lived in apartment #5A has passed away on March 24th of this year. The apartment looks like crap, but it is not the property owner fault, because he was not aware of all the damage that the apartment has.

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Major Health Hazard

Pros

It’s close to the shopping center

Cons

There are so many problems in the building and apartments. Management will say they will fix it and never do no matter how many times you call 311. There is a mice infestation and mold. This place is a health hazard.
