New management company is better but issues persist
Pros
Responsive management company (Frontgate) as of end of 2022 We had mice for two weeks but they sent an exterminator quickly and they were gone shortly after Previous company (Sharp) was terrible and we dealt with issues in the first floor below us for years, now it’s a physical therapy spot so very quiet
Cons
Small renovations like painting hallway led to a HUGE rent hike, pricing us out of the building after 4 years
Not worth the price
Pros
Good location, close to Franklin’s restaurants and the Museum/Prospect Park. The unit itself had a really lovely exposed brick wall and large windows that let in a nice breeze.
Cons
The hallways and staircases were absolutely disgusting. In the winter, my unit was so cold that I could see my breath. All 3 AC units broke, so they were useless in the summer. The hot water lasted about 10 minutes. So if I just finished washing dishes and wanted to take a shower, I needed to wait at least 4 hours for additional hot water. There’s an event space on the first floor that plays music so loud that it shakes the whole building. And the entire building stinks of stale weed, cigarettes, and body odor after each event. The shared laundry is so disgusting. The space itself is bad and difficult to get to, but the pet owners in the building never clean the nasty dog hair out after they use the washer and dryer. So that pet fur gets all wrapped up in the next person’s clothing. And when it came time to renew my lease, the rent increased by 43% without a single change to the unit.
Advice to the owners
Mini or Minny or whoever in the management office is absolutely one of the rudest people I have ever dealt with. She is such a nasty person for the fun of it. Fire her immediately.
