Big cheap and cheaply made units
Pros
Huge units for low cost In unit laundry Dishwasher Excellent live-in super Courtyard/garden out back Kind neighbors in building Management never raises rent more than $100 because they lost our lease two years in a row Lots of local coffee shops Great local food
Cons
High utilities Ice maker on refrigerator never fixed for 5 years because part couldn’t be ordered Shower in secondary bathroom had pipes that were old and made a screeching/shaking noise weekly Pipes loud; can hear them and a knocking noise in the bathroom Can hear upstairs neighbors Terrible management Cheap finishes (ex. Door handles often loosen) There are many rehab facilities in the neighborhood so there are a lot of people suffering from addiction or using who hang out by the 116 6 stop or outside the building New roommates name never added to the lease because management was so unresponsive for 2.5 years
Advice to the owners
Fire everyone in the management office and start over. They’re unbelievably unorganized, unresponsive and incompetent.
