INFESTED WITH BED BUGS FOR YEARS
Former Tenant
Pros:
Can’t name one
Cons:
Bed bug infested for years and the entire building had them - at least 6 apartments and they were all throughout the walls and buildings. They never came to fix, never answered, and the bed bugs didn’t go away for months. Had to move out. The floors are old and stained with paint everywhere. The heat was always overwhelmingly hot in the winter and made it insufferable. Overall terrible building and terrible owners and management
Advice to owner:
Tear down the entire building and start over.

Infested with Bed bugs!!!!
Former Tenant
Pros:
No pros at all
Cons:
Management was awful. Knew about an on going bed bug issue for years and never mitigated it. Took 3 months to respond and at least one floor of the building was infested the entire time living there
Over 2 years ago
Never live on the 1st floor
Former Tenant
Pros:
Toilet water pressure
Cons:
The first floor is above the boiler and there are constant clanging sounds in the walls that they do nothing to fix/ say there’s nothing to be done. Could not sleep for the whole winter. Specifically apartment 1D smells in the basement bedroom and had rats in between the floors and can’t stress enough how much to not live here, first review I have written in my life
Advice to owner:
Fix boiler and smells

Essentially a college dorm
Former Tenant
Pros:
Updated hallway, great location
Cons:
Neighbors leave trash outside of bins. There’s only one exit for fires, and no hallway fire extinguishers. We recently had a fire in the building and no alarms went off. People move in and out constantly, so there’s always tons of trash and cheap furniture being thrown out.
Advice to owner:
Either ask tenants to properly dispose of trash or pay the porter come more frequently. People move out regularly, so making sure that there’s extra cleaning around those times would be good.
