Disgusting Place - NO

Former Tenant

Pros:

The apartment unit was big with lots of windows and high ceilings. Garbage shoot on every floor.

Cons:

Bed bugs! Building was unsafe as people on the street just wander in. There are rats everywhere. In the wall, ceiling, basement. I couldn't go downstairs for recycling because it was infested with rats. Clearly a slum building and not taken care of.

Advice to owner:

take care of your tenants.
