Crackheads sleep in lobby - don't live here
Pros
Great light in the apartment, were willing to negotiate/flexible with lease conditions around length/breaking lease
Cons
The management company is pretty despicable. They never fix anything that breaks. There is a vestibule with a door that doesnt lock and then a keypad to get into the building. This is where the mailboxes are, but they've been broken for over a year so the mail is just in an unsorted pile on the ground. The worst part is that in the winter homeless drug addicts sleep in the vestibule because the door doesn't lock and it is heated. We've seen them smoke crack and shoot up in the vestibule and even burn the mail since the mail boxes haven't been fixed in so long. One of them tried to stab the super this winter so he's afraid to even kick them out now and I don't blame him. The company refuses to do anything about this because they would have to move the buzzer outside and they're more willing to expose tenant and their employee to this danger than pay for this
Advice to the owners
Respond to emails and phone calls sooner than a week and take safety issues seriously
Do not live here!!!
Pros
Gym in the building
Cons
Cockroaches everywhere, A/C unit broken in the middle of summer, property management/super will never respond to issues and never answer the phone, and landlord will not pay you back your security deposit. They may also provide your email address to all tenants current and past. And if you want to sue them for not returning your security deposit, good luck! They do not have a real mailing address so all mail will be returned to sender and you won’t be able to file the claim.
Advice to the owners
I believe that you legally need to have a working mailing address. Also learn to pick up the phone.
