“Unit 18 Pros: Great location and a livable apartment, the super is easy to reach and he fixes things. This is an old radiator apartment, so the heat is great. Cons: People at the management company ERG are quite rude whenever they need to do something for you and you are of no value as a renter and can't be trusted, you are just $$ in their eyes. Though I guess this is no different from the whole city during this housing crisis, as they know you have no other options. I would have still liked to feel a little safer about not feeling like ERG is trying to screw me over every time I had to do something with them. The inside of the building is run down. Our packages get stolen once in a while. The buzzer is broken since 2 years. This is an old building, so a lot of things break regularly. The neighborhood is sometimes lovely sometimes sketchy. Advice to landlord: I wish we had face to face contact with the owner and could build mutual trust rather than only having the management company as our contact”
