“Unit 1C Pros: Pretty close to the train, neighbors were always friendly. I loved all the dogs and the families who live there. Cons: We had mushrooms grow out of our bathroom ceiling-- I am NOT joking and would upload a picture here if I could. We didn't have light in our bathroom for three months despite borderline-harassing management begging them to fix it, and every single month we were given a late fee on rent despite always making timely payments. Only when I sent certified mail with my law firm's letterhead did they say "oops! my bad." Like, I get it. It's an old building. Upkeep is hard. There are going to be rats and roaches. But the people living here deserve better than to walk into their dark bathroom see 20 roaches scuttle off, and see that the fungal infestation in their bathtub has gotten bigger. There are a lot of elderly people and kids who could get sick, and management owes them a turnaround faster than three months. Advice to landlord: Hire more people to manage, if you need! I know you're making money now that the neighborhood is gentrifying, you can afford to pay more people!”

“Pros: Steps away from riverside park, affordable, updated appliances, great neighbors, can use rhino for deposit, responsive management. Cons: The sink water pipes are full of German Cockroaches. Doesn’t matter how clean you keep your apartment and kitchen sink - they will pop out every once in a while and during the beginning of the spring we had an infestation. Monthly pest control did not combat this issue - had to get special treatment Advice to landlord: See cons.”

“Unit 5A Pros: The super Henry is a really nice guy. The neighborhood is lively and friendly. Cons: The landlords are only interested in moving the current tenants out so they can turn the apartments into overpriced dormitories. They remodeled the units making the kitchen space into a bedroom and making a weird ‘open concept’ living space in the dining room. There’s rats in the walls of the first floor and in the garbage area. Advice to landlord: Stop being a slumlord. Treat your tenants with dignity and respect.”

“Pros: Excellent and responsive super Cons: Overworked super, poor building management, and extremely slow response time from building management company. Trash piles up frequently in trash area. Advice to landlord: Quicker response, hire more help instead of making the super do everything, he can only do so much.”

“Pros: Friendly neighbors that look out for each other. Excellent, hard working super. Cons: New (as of 2019) building owners and management are difficult to communicate with and work with. Advice to landlord: Develop better communication with your tenants. Management office and building manager is terrible and difficult to work with.”
