Advice to the owners

None

Former tenant·6 months ago

Great building, great location - too bad about the renters

Pros

Great building, good light

Cons

The sponsor is selling ALL 213 Rental units - no longer renewing the leases. There are perpetual plumbing issues which require them to switch on and off the water and on and off the air conditioning. They are good about doing this during the working day though.
