Needs Attention

Pros

Location is the only good thing.

Cons

The building is unattended. With the proper management it will be the perfect building. Extremely disgusting, lobby door broken 97% of the time. Dirty, constantly has human feces around the hallways due to crackhead who loiter in the building due to the easy access. Needs a lighter paint color due to its darkness this makes it unsafe for tenants. Trash all over the building.

Advice to the owners

Maintain your building its extremely disgusting. Specially with covid it truly sucks.
