overall LOVED this place
Pros
Great security, location, rent was good, elevator was fast. Lovely apt with balcony and updated bathroom
Cons
you really cant get rid of the roaches-definitely a building issue.
Advice to the owners
Of course keep rent low as you can - thats the most important thing.
great staff, terrible management
Pros
the super and door staff were friendly and very helpful. there is a sense of community - especially love how residents will leave books in the lobby to exchange (and sometimes other freebies).
Cons
management was very slow to fix problems in the building. gas was out for ~6 months in the middle of the winter, there were periods when almost all of the dryers were broken. there were no working elevators for close to a year (the building is 9 floors, so this is illegal). we didn't receive rent reductions in any of these instances.
Advice to the owners
fix building problems faster
