Construction! Old Building
Pros
Excellent location for a decent price
Cons
There was ongoing construction in the building which caused for loud noises, dirt, dust, and the occasional pest. The super is not very responsive.
Advice to the owners
Better super and more communications about construction
No regard for tenants
Pros
This building is located in a fantastic area and many spacious units inside. While under previous ownership, there were no issues with management and the lease was reasonable with very few questionable clauses. They were flexible with the cost of rent and were easy to work with
Cons
Arya Management has overhauled this building and increased the rent significantly, by at least $400/mo or more. Not only did they skyrocket rent costs, they do a terrible job at communicating and are completely unresponsive to the tenants. If you live here, expect the bare minimum from Arya. When offered a new lease, strict clauses were put into place that made other tenants and I question whether it was worth living in the building with owners who state these things. For instance, you must get landlord permission to change a shower head. Complete nonsense
Advice to the owners
Do better. Answer your tenants calls. Have a singular ounce of regard for the people who have lived here for years and consider the fact that this building is more than a cash grab.
