Unreliable and dirty
Former Tenant
Pros:
Good location
You get good light if you face the back away from the street
Not noisy
You get good light if you face the back away from the street
Not noisy
Cons:
Landlord is completely unresponsive leading to months without heat and a working shower in the middle of the winter. If you have any kind of issue there is no way to contact him and if you try there’s maybe a 5% chance he will respond to you.
Our first night in the apartment the ceiling literally collapsed out of nowhere and no one seemed concerned at all
Mice which we kill ourselves because we know he would never help us with them
He seems to lose our checks in the mail extremely frequently
Packages stolen multiple times
