Totally ordinary building, no major cons
Pros
Super lives in the building and was extremely responsive if anything went wrong (the upstairs apt leaked a lot of water for some reason).
Cons
There’s no buzzer but the front door has a code. My apartment had no sink in the bathroom, it was right outside the bathroom. You get used to it but kind of ugly to look at. You have to pay rent by check which can get kind of annoying. The garbage bins are right outside the door and can get kind of messy.
Advice to the owners
Update to an electronic payment method and put the garbage bins within some kind of larger container system.
Management company the worst
Pros
The apartment itself is nice.
Cons
Plaza Management is a very sleazy company that will try to suck as much money out of you as possible. If you move in or out on a weekend it’s a $250 deposit you won’t get back. We moved into a dirty apartment with broken toilet, washing machine and stove. Although they did fix it all they acted like they were doing us a big favor instead of just their job. We had outlets that in a full year were never fixed. we sold furniture to the next tenants and instructed the company not to toss the furniture but they did anyway. When moving out one of my roommates needed the current landlord to talk to his new landlord our current one said he would for $25 which also doesn’t seem legal.
Advice to the owners
Like I said above, plaza management will try to rip you off. I’d avoid all their properties just to be safe.
