    Greedy management but okay building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great location and overall good condition apartments
    Cons:
    - Management is greedy and WILL raise your rent an egregious amount
    - When we moved in, they did not hire cleaners at all and it was filthy inside
    - They took away some of our security deposit back for not "cleaning" but the apartment was in good condition
    - Payment has to be done in person by check
    Advice to owner:
    Stop being so money hungry and invest in good tenants

    Kind of a slum
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Location was nice (prime east village)
    Cons:
    The apartment had mice and roaches. Garbage attracted more rats. Super was not live-in even though it was advertised he would be. We had a water leak for 9 months out of the 12 that we lived there.
