Unresponsive Management / Roaches / Leaks and more
Pros
Good location, good neighbors
Cons
An online tenant portal is required to submit any work requests, these requests are all ignored. Phone calls and emails to follow up on unresolved work requests also go ignored. If you do manage to speak with a human they will dismiss your concerns, possibly become verbally abusive, and threaten you simply for trying to communicate about issues with the apartment. Worst landlord / management company I have ever experienced. The building has a roach infestation and plumbing issues that they seem to have no interest in addressing. Severely overpriced compared to other similar units in the neighborhood.
Advice to the owners
Hire a new management company
Affordable rent comes at a cost
Pros
Cheap rent and the amount of space
Cons
Unresponsive management that didn't walk through our apartment before we moved in. We had to clean the tub and the toilet and have found a couple of cockroaches. The "exterminator" just sprayed pesticide without sealing off entry points. We were allowed to move in without any smoke detectors installed, which is against housing laws. There's no lock on our back door. When I called the landlord, he told me to only call if it was an emergency like a flood or fire. So then I email and put in maintenance requests and don't get any response.
Advice to the owners
Either be more responsive or stop being a landlord because this apartment is inhabitable
