Reviews

Former tenant·5 months ago

Avoid at all costs

Pros

Location is the only pro.

Cons

Roaches, rats, mold, ceiling leaking, AC units leaking, unresponsive maintenance, landlord uses a fake name (goes by Rupert- real name is Deodat Lawton) and curses out tenants regularly in response to routine maintenance requests. Retaliated against tenants for calling 311 (as a last resort).

Advice to the owners

I have none as I truly believe you are a lost cause. Start with using a real name.

Former tenant·5 months ago

Roaches roaches roaches

Pros

Decent sized bedrooms, hip location

Cons

Roaches and roaches and roaches. Not to mention, weird smell. Sewer-y. But constant unending roaches that are unresponsive to any and all forms of extermination. No one did anything to help.

Advice to the owners

Gut and clean the walls
