    a decent place to live
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The super wasn’t always immediately available but he was attentive, respectful, helpful, and very
    kind.
    Cons:
    We had a serious roach issue and the management was very unhelpful. It made our lives miserable for many months. We also had mice.
    Advice to owner:
    Your tenants are paying thousands of dollars to live in subpar conditions, the least you can do is take care of the building.
