    decent, but old
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    quiet street, close to the train and great local businesses
    Cons:
    no elevator, tight staircase
    Over 1 year ago
    Great renovations that hide the crust below
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Building was cheap. Renovated backsplash, tile, stainless steel appliances.
    Overall mostly student population or elderly folk.
    Cons:
    Rats infest streets from 108th - 113th, due to street conditions and outdoor trash. Building started leaking in the lobby and owner management was very poor - tried to hold our security deposit hostage.
    Advice to owner:
    Need to wake up and realize that property management means you run a business, and thus are accountable to the people paying you thousands of dollars a month in rent. Simple repairs, keeping building operational, etc and communication are a prerequisite.

    Overall pretty ok
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The neighborhood is pretty safe and nice
    Cons:
    I live on 2nd floor so barely no view or sun
    Over 2 years ago
    Neglect
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The ability to control the heat via thermostat was great.
    Cons:
    Inconsistent pest control measures, lack of due diligence with regards to repairs and maintenance. Noisy neighbors.
    Advice to owner:
    Preventative maintenance instead of reacting to disasters would improve living conditions.

    Over 2 years ago
    Don’t live here
    Former Tenant
