Disappointing
Pros
The super never comes here so if you wanted to run a meth lab out of your apartment, no one would stop you.
Cons
When I moved in there was dried urine all over the toilet and old food stuck to the counters in the kitchen. Every time it rains broken glass comes up through the soil in the back yard. The mosquitos are horrendous. Infested with slugs and snails. Back yard is virtually unusable. Trash is never collected so it piles up in front of unit 1 for weeks. Neighbors complain. Rats moved in under the stoop. The landlord doesn’t return calls and doesn’t have email. You can go to their office by appointment only but can’t set up an appointment because they won’t return calls. Took them four months to give me a mailbox key. There are only two meters for four apartments with shared wiring throughout the building so I paid utilities for at least two apartments for a year and had a terrible time finding out why my bills were so high. They’ve yet to return my call about this. I tore out the rotting fence in the back yard that was a safety hazard and when I asked them to remove the pile of rotten wood they sent someone without telling him what needed to be done and he tore out every plant but left the rotten wood. There was a decomposed dead dog behind the fence. Thermostat doesn’t go above 73 degrees. Drains are terribly backed up. You can try draino but then the entire building smells like sewage for a few days.
Advice to the owners
Respond every once in a while. Make sure a place is clean before a tenant moves in. Handle the trash situation. Don’t charge one person for all the building utilities. Have any amount of respect for your tenants.
Don’t live here.
Pros
My apartment had nice windows and the bathroom was decent.
Cons
The property owner is known for refusing to give people their security deposits back by way of avoiding their tenants altogether. I spent 4 months consistently calling them only to speaking to a new “employee” each time that took down a message that was never followed up on. Dead roaches were found in the entryway multiple times despite having an exterminator come once in a blue moon.
