    Leaky Ceiling, Very Slow Management Response
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    I loved the location of the building! Fairly quiet, neighbors are nice, feels safe.
    Cons:
    The radiator in the apartment above mine leaked so much that a giant chunk of my bedroom ceiling collapsed - it took a full month of following up and pestering the landlord to get them to fix it. They refused to send an actual plumber and would only send the super, which is why it kept happening again and again.
    Advice to owner:
    hire professionals for repairs and listen to your tenants

    Fine old building. Lived in june homes. Never had pest issues. Garbage cans outside are fine.

    Eh i mean it’s nothing fancy but it’s fine

    Unresponsive Land Lord
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    - great location
    - spacious units
    Cons:
    - the property manager, Raul, is VERY unresponsive and will not answer emails/texts/phone calls.
    - door is left open by restaurant downstairs which leads to regular package theft
    - in the winter heat is either not on blasting (most radiator handles are broken)
    - buzzers don’t work most of the time
    - floors are comically warped
    Advice to owner:
    Please start answering your tenants
