    Really nice place but the roaches…
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Quite and great area
    Cons:
    The roach problem is non stop and the amount of repairs need is quite high
    Over 2 years ago
    Horrible building and owner
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    There are no pros
    Cons:
    Owner Mike Rabar is a slum lord. I used to live on the 5th floor and he broke into our apartment with the super destroying our property. There was black mold throughout the apartment and he did nothing to resolve the issue. The only reason he isn’t in jail is because despite calling the police we were never able to serve him to get him into court. Avoid this building at all cost.
    Advice to owner:
    Turn yourself in jail is waiting!!!!!
