    old and broken building
    Former Tenant

    Above a church so it’s very loud. Leaking pipes in the unit above unit 12 made bathroom ceiling collapse.
    Advice to owner:
    Use building provided pest control services
    Over 1 year ago
    Building always has trash in the hallway
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Friendly neighbors and pet friendly
    Cons:
    Rats running around the door is always broken leading to drug addicts using in hallway garbage in hallways
    Advice to owner:
    Get rid of these rats first off that’s going in people apartments tear out the kitchen cabinets because a lot of the have gigantic holes under them that rats are coming through
    Over 1 year ago
    Awful apartment that's poorly managed
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Sunny, good location
    Cons:
    An incredible number of code violations
    Over 2 years ago
    Was happy living there but could do better
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Love the neighborhood
    Great sunlight
    Close to multiple subways
    Cons:
    Walk up
    Rat infested garbage area
    Package theft
    No laundry in building
    Too high of rent for no amenities
    Advice to owner:
    Please take better care of the garbage area. Sometimes it’s impossible to even open the door to throw out garbage, causing the building to become dirty with litter. The heat used to be really good but this last winter it was cold a lot of the time.

    Couldn’t get secuirty deposit back
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    We lived in a beautiful unit, plenty of space at a decent price. We didn’t have many issues with heat or electric or anything like that.
    Cons:
    I after moving out, it took us almost an entire year to get our security deposit back even though we were in no violation. The landlord ran off with it to France with him and it took tons of fighting to get it back and reporting him. The management company did virtually nothing and told us they couldn’t do anything because he was the one with the money and not them.
    Advice to owner:
