Awful management neglects tenant concerns
Pros
Apartment is nice, newly renovated, close to train and buses, monthly exterminator
Cons
Management does not reply to emails. Does not fix things when you ask them to. If something is seriously wrong with the apartment they will say there is nothing they can do or will say there is no problem. For example they said they couldn’t do anything about smoke from other apartments coming into our apartment even though they’re legally obligated to. Another example is poor electricity and when having electrical problems stated that we just needed to change the light bulbs when they had all been changed recently. Did not answer my roommates email the entire 2 years he lived there with me. Also the super does not know what he’s doing. He is extremely incompetent and does not fix anything. For example, we had our tiles redone in the kitchen at request of the landlord and he did it so poorly that all the grout was coming off a week after so we had no tile grout.
Cute Apartment on Lovely Street
Pros
The building was clean, quiet, and well-maintained. The owners and managers were always very responsive and kind to my roommate and I. The neighbors are wonderful and the street is beautiful-- so many friendly faces and a great community environment.
Cons
The only con is that the rent-stabilized tenants who have been living there for years sometimes were not treated the same as new tenants coming in. Not a problem for people moving in I guess, but my neighbor sometimes had my roommate or I call on their behalf if they felt like a complaint wasn't being heard(though complaints were rare).
Advice to the owners
Overall had a lovely time living here and communicating with owners/management. No advice beyond being more responsive to older tenants.
