Reviews

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Don’t miss it

Pros

Good location, close to stores and transit.

Cons

So much garbage outside all the time, overflowing garbage always. Sewer issues and exposed sewage for weeks on the basement level. Hoards of rats outside. Loud banging front door.

Advice to the owners

Be more considerate of your renters

Former tenant·Over 1 year ago

Management is a joke

Pros

Residential area, long-term residents of the neighborhood make for a homey feel neighborly, good access to the subway, units themselves are fine

Cons

Old building (creaky stairs, old pipes), owner not responsive, repairs are shotty at best, garbage everywhere = rats (not inside though)

Advice to the owners

Get rats under control. Do more than just the bare minimum.
