Reviews

Former tenant·5 months ago

Worth it if you have to

Pros

Great food in the area! Relatively spacious for the price you are paying.

Cons

Roaches, police coming for visits frequently to some tennants, irresponsive building handyman that does not speak english. Uses SUCH an antiquated system for rent (literally slides it under the door), broken call system, not the safest neighborhood

Former tenant·10 months ago

Filthy Building & Horrible Building Management

Pros

only thing I like about this building spacious apartment

Cons

- filthy always - dirty - dirty staircases - broken lobby doors - gloomy lights in the hallways - always dirty - paint chipped and dirty walls in the hallway - the front of the building was always dirty - management office - extremely rude to their tenants - the super does not clean

Advice to the owners

change your workers at gilman management and new super that actually works on making sure the building is presentable and clean
