budget for a reason
Pros
the units have in-unit laundry and dishwasher and the rent is cheap as the landlord is willing to rent by room.
Cons
if you're a self-starter, this is the place for you. building-wide cleanliness is a huge issue; i've seen roaches year round on the 3rd floor and the stairwell is constantly full of trash. neighbors play music often, so if you sleep lightly, you won't get much here. if you're coming into a lease that has previous tenants staying, management will assume they will fill you in on building details. i had a maintenance request pending for seven months because i didn't know how to contact management. all of these problems can be solved if you're willing to be the only person cleaning, contacting, and keeping up the place--but then you can probably find a better place to stay anyways.
Advice to the owners
why do you own property if you don't care about upkeeping it?
Great Amenities, Bad Violations
Pros
In-unit laundry, amazing bathrooms, AMAZING location, great price. Right next to so much transit and the individual bathrooms are so valuable.
Cons
I had no heat in the winter. We did not have adequate smoke alarms so when the apartment building burned in a fire, a pet in our apartment died because we couldn’t get out in time. We lost everything in the fire.
Advice to the owners
Better smoke alarms and heat pls.
