Pros: The price. It looks nice before you actually live there! Cons: Literally everything. No heat or hot water, roaches, bedbugs, mice, aggressive dogs, sewage leaks. Advice to landlord: Stop harassing your female tenants and do your job.

Pros: A virtual doorman, current super Cons: Non-responsive management, especially unreachable by phone, constantly revolving staff and contacts not up-to-date, pests in the walls and mice/cockroaches in the units, frequently no hot water/heat due to freaking old boiler, no access to building by key (only virtual doorman), and understaffed garbage maintenance. Advice to landlord: If any one of the cons listed could be resolved, that would be awesome.

Unit 6D Pros: The neighbors are very nice, never had a problem with them. The people in the building, especially those who’ve stayed living there, know their rights. Cons: The property management company/owner has been convicted and imprisoned for being a slum lord. High turnover of staff. I’ve had three different property managers in the few months I’ve lived there. They boiler desperately needs to be fully replaced, it stops working at least once a week so we go without hot water or heat a few hours while they get it working again. There was a gas leak from the boiler as well that caused the gas to somehow makes it way into our apartment through the bathroom vent and set off our carbon monoxide detector, making us call the fire department. There is a consistent mouse problem in the whole building including our apartment that they never fully take care of, instead they just come though every couple months and give us a couple poison packets for them to bite.

Unit 2D Pros: 1. Neighbors are very friendly and helpful. 2. Good shops nearby for food. 3. Close to the train station. Cons: Too many to make a complete list, but the most notable are the following: 1. The Landlord and the management company take turns on avoiding your requests, but make it a priority to harass you for any overdue rent. By harass, I literally mean banging on the door / sending people to intimidate you. 2. While I was there, there were approximately three superintendents, each of diminishing quality. The first super was actually quite helpful; the last could benefit from a different line of work. 3. Repairs? You have to withhold rent for a few months until they finally cave in and repair your unit. Make sure to set up escrow accounts to put your withheld rent in for when they try to threaten you with legal action. 4. Heat and hot water? They're luxuries. The boiler had always been hit or miss for a few years, but it really start crapping out in September 2023. Buy a space heater or expect to wear layers on layers to go to bed. Important in-person meeting in the morning? Shower the night before (if there's any hot water then). 5. Rats. Everywhere. Careful moving the lid of a container in the garbage area because those rats are social. You can also hear rats crawling in between the walls as well. 6. SEVERELY OVERPRICED. You will pay premium rents to be denied the most basic of needs such as heat, hot water and peace. 7. Lack of safety. Packages stolen so frequently that neighbors had to start looking out for each other's packages. There was also an incident where an unhoused individual with mental problems proceeded to break into the same vacant apartment for the span of a month or two. Police would show up and escort him off the premises just for him to return; management was alerted of this, but proceeded to do nothing. The vacant unit was left unlocked for viewings despite this safety issue. Advice to landlord: Nothing. I don't think any advice would get through to him.

Unit 6b Pros: The neighbors are friendly and willing to help always... only pro Cons: Roaches, rats, management is a complete and total disaster. See a list of cons below: - Finance office will pull rent $ from account without permission. - Additionally, management won't answer phone calls, texts, or emails for days to weeks, and when they do, they don't provide answers or clarification on issues you are bringing up. - Throughout this winter, we have interrupted HEAT and HOT WATER at least 1x a week, with no help from management. - Building is infested with roaches and first floor deals with rats and mice because the building workers refuse to follow the garbage schedule. Advice to landlord: No advice to them, SLUM LORD.
