    498 Manhattan Ave
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Great location
    Quiet building residents and overall quiet neighborhood
    Cons:
    *Property owners have switched over the years. They don't communicate the actual building issues to the new owners.(Sewage backs up if there isn't a scheduled maintenance)
    *No temperature control for individual units.
    *There's always that one obnoxious hoarder in the building. They live in a hoarding situation, will claim everyone is stealing items, and will be black out drunk in the lobby 🙄
    Advice to owner:
    *current property owner is just in it for the money. Raising rent for every lease, but never makes real improvements
    *Doesn't respond in a timely manner / hard to actually reach anyone that can help
    *Sends passive-agressive texts and emails with "no reply" accounts
    *Repairs are a joke
    *Front door intercom system is junk, and we've missed many deliveries because of it (even though we've submitted the required form multiple times for repair)
