Unresponsive, horrific landlord
Pros
We love this neighborhood - tenants in the building are delightful, you're right above smalls jazz club and St Jardim. The apt was relatively newly renovated.
Cons
The landlord was unresponsive and outright slum-lord like. We had issues with hot water, the washer dryer created foul odors, the front door didn't shut so homeless people lived in the lobby, there was leaks in the windows. Scaffolding went up unannounced and drilling made the apt unlivable, without any abatement from the landlord. The area is loud, but we didn't mind it!
Advice to the owners
Do better.
All that glitters isn’t gold!
Pros
The super does an amazing job keeping the building clean, in the three years living there I’ve never seen a rodent or bug. Location is GREAT!
Cons
The building is owned and run by a management company who couldn’t care less about the building or its residents. I moved into a recently renovated apartment three years ago; during the last three years there have been multiple leaks that have gone unfixed and unaddressed by management. BLACK MOLD in the ceiling makes me hesitant to stay because of their lack of attention. My two downstairs neighbors have lived here their entire lives and have the same issues. They take NO ownership for a building they’re supposed to maintain. Tread Lightly!
Advice to the owners
When a tenant that has been living with you for years, brings up an issue, it should be properly addressed. This would ensure you have a beautiful, respectful, community of tenants living and respecting your building.
