Pros: The neighbors in the building were nice - that's it. Cons: Roaches - exterminator didn't help. The apt's are horribly maintained (holes in walls, paint peeling everywhere, broken windows. Outside yard might get "cleaned" once every 3 months and is covered in trash. Landlord illegally withheld security deposit. Building just smells bad and is falling apart. Run by slumlords and ridiculously overpriced. Please, run away. Advice to landlord: Actually maintain your building - serious pest control - stop robbing people?

Pros: Exposed brick walls were nice. That's about it. Cons: This building is run by inveterate slumlords. The year we lived here saw daily heat and hot water malfunctions which they refused to fix, along with cockroaches and general disrepair. Avoid this slumlord-run building at all costs. Advice to landlord: Cultivate some basic human decency and become a responsible landlord.

Pros: Easygoing neighbors. Close to transportation. You can do whatever you want, no one cares. Cons: You’re on your own with most issues. Live-in superintendent does not live here. You can do whatever you want, no one cares. Some of the units have had bathroom ceiling collapse they always blamed the upstairs neighbors but one of the units didn’t have an upstairs neighbor. Lots of issues with heat one year which they were slow to address. Apartments were cheaply “renovated”. Recurring bed bug problem which they’ve been hiding for years. Garbage area has always been a mess. Advice to landlord: Fix the units. Hire a new superintendent. Move the Garbage bins outside like 1223 does.

Pros: neighbors were amazing and helpful. we all had horrible experiences and uplifted each other. There was one lady who cleaned. Cons: Literally everything. You wonder why the rent keeps going down. Hot water wasn’t working from November 2019 through April 2020...during a PANDEMIC!!!!! Leaks, bed bugs, roaches, mice infested units. Landlord / management was threatening and did not fix issues in the building. They refused to treat the whole building for bed bugs even though multiple units reported bed bugs. This caused a building wide infestation. Packages were often stolen. Just horrible. Rent may be cheap but that’s for a reason. BEWARE!! Advice to landlord: Your tenants are paying over $1400 for a unit.....make it worth their money.

Pros: The neighbors were amazing and the sidewalks outside are nice and wide. The lady who does the garbage is really nice and does an excellent job especially considering the unfortunate conditions of her workplace. Cons: -Lack of hot water for many months, including all of April 2020 (!! So much for keeping clean during a pandemic), only resolved after tenants withheld rent. -huge leak in our bathroom ceiling for the entire 4 years we lived in the apartment. When we asked for the leak to be fixed, they sometimes patched/painted over it but the leak would continue and water would come down again only days later. This happened so many times I can’t count. Water even came pouring through the wall one time. Ongoing when we moved out. -mold in the bathroom ceiling from the leak described above. Mold also very bad in kitchen -the trash courtyard did not have enough trash cans, and there was a huge rat problem. Rats swimming in puddles, crawling in mattresses, bursting out of trash bags, etc. -persistent cockroach problem in multiple units. -bedbug infestation building-wide. Over the summer of 2020 multiple apartments spread through all 4 floors of the building had bedbugs. One time we even saw a bed bug crawling on a package in the mail room. All of this clearly indicated a building-wide infestation but the landlord only treated individual units, some of them multiple times, and the problem was ongoing when we moved out. -at one point there was an electrical fire in one of the units. Not sure if they ever fixed the problem but I doubt it -hostile communication style, gaslighting, acting like these weren’t real problems or like they were someone else’s fault. It’s THEIR JOB to keep up their end of the lease agreement to provide a safe and habitable living environment, and they failed on so many levels and blamed other people for it. Advice to landlord: Start taking care of the building, and take peoples’ concerns seriously. You wouldn’t want your family living in these conditions but you leave your tenants in them for years on end. It’s shameful and disrespectful to treat people like that. Also, you should show some appreciation for the hard work of the garbage lady by paying her more.
