Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Building Management Unresponsive and hard to get a hold of

Pros

Close to the L and M train.

Cons

Building Management is unresponsive and hard to get a hold off. Water bugs throughout the building, wall mounted air conditioners are not installed properly causing leaks and damage in walls and ceilings, main areas of the building not kept clean (dust, bugs, weird material on walls).

Management does not care about you

Pros

If you can make the space work, it’s great! Small but can be made cozy.

Cons

They have the nerve to raise the rent an additional $200 after so complaints. Parts of the ceiling leak when it rains, the cameras don’t work, we have mold that they have yet to do anything about, the super will say he’ll do stuff and then doesn’t, and their communication is terrible

Advice to the owners

It’s one thing to suck at your job, but it’s another to raise the rent despite sucking at your job. Lower your rents or prioritize your tenants
