Pros

I like the location

Cons

Doesn’t keep up with maintenance. Need to address problem asap not a year later !!! Please remodel and fix tenants issues they have. I know it’s an old building. But tenants deserve to live in a nice environment. Rats coming out the floors is still an issue. And flooring, walls, bathroom and everything is not good !

Badly (aka not) maintained Leaks everywhere and all the time Nothing is done after leaks to ensure everything dries properly Management and super sweep everything under the rug and don’t want to fix anything Management claims lead has been remediated while untrue Door and doorbell constantly broken Strange odors in apartment even when cleaned, not sure where this is coming from Toxic

Advice to the owners

Sell this building to someone who cares to maintain it and cares about the health of the tenants. Don’t kill tenants and affect their health by poor maintenance and neglect.
