Do not live here
Pros
A place to sleep
Cons
The front door lock was broken for a long time, the stairwell and lobby were never cleaned, persistent package thieves. A homeless woman slept in the lobby for about a week while I lived there, and nothing was done about it. I had to file a complaint with the attorney general to get back my security deposit. I also received money in a settlement for the poor treatment my partner and I endured as tenants living here. Lots of trouble with water leaking from above units into our bathroom and kitchen. Management never responded to repair requests unless you contact 311 multiple times. They never covered the deadbolt hole in our door. They moved us in without a working lock on the door. They never properly fixed a hole they put in the wall after they came to fix an electrical issue. When we moved in, we also lived without a working stove for three months. The water heater was unreliable, I often took showers at the gym. In one year of living there, my partner and I persistently dealt with roaches and mice. We kept our food very tidy but the pest control was awful. Barely any help from management beyond an exterminator every three months or so. I could never contact the owners; even my lawyer had trouble with keeping in contact with them. They always gave different phone numbers, emails and addresses and would conveniently "lose" any certified guaranteed mail I sent.
