    Nice unit, leaky roof
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Really nice natural light from skylights in kitchen and bathroom, windows on two sides in bedroom, convenient layout
    Cons:
    Surprisingly the skylights did not leak but the roof would freeze and we’d get severe leaks in the corner of the living room each winter. Cold in winter in bedroom. Management company was absolutely horrible to interact with, which was needed when a rent check was mislaid and when a repair was needed.
    Advice to owner:
    I think you manage too many apartments to just have the one secretary responding to everything

    Spacious studio, but unresponsive owner
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Spacious studio with high ceilings. Lots of storage in my unit. Elevator worked 99% of the time. Building pretty clean. I enjoyed interacting with neighbors when I saw them, everyone was friendly.
    Cons:
    Horrible responses from owners. I had issues sending a check (they lost it even though previously told me it was on the desk), and with fixing things. Very rarely responded over email, very short and rude when did. The owner never followed up about things they said they would. Super was nice, but I had to bother them about issues in my apartment. Only could get large issues fixed, and they wanted me to fix small things myself.
    Advice to owner:
    Be more responsive and actually respond to tenants. Implement system for online payment as opposed to sending a check (very antiquated system).
