Noisy, pest-filled nightmare
Pros
When they got bought out by a new management company they let me terminate my lease early
Cons
Found a rat inside my apartment. Many cockroaches. To be fair, I was the basement studio. There were rats outside my window in one of those black boxes and they let the carcasses decompose instead of removing them, so there were flies all around the exterior. The garbage was not taken out frequently enough. Oh, and its literally right next to a bar. I could hear every word of the music playing til late at night, plus drunk peoples personal conversations or fights right outside.
Advice to the owners
Don't rent out the basement unit! It's not suitable to live in.
Terrible management company
Pros
Neighbors are lovely and rear apartments are a great size with beautiful windows.
Cons
Difficult to communicate with the management company. Building had gas shut off for over a year with no signs of owner attempting to fix things. They also only offered an abatement when asked and tenants had to organize to get equal abatements. There were also always issues with overflowing trash bins and rodents in the building. Hallways and stairs never looked clean either.
Advice to the owners
Take care of the building and communicate with your tenants!
