    Bad company & building
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Takes government assistance programs & has apartments that belong to DHS
    Cons:
    Internally falling apart
    Not enough staff to keep the building clean, clear & in shape
    Not handicap accessible
    Tenants don’t pay their rent
    Adult and children tenants hang out & trash the hallways, stairways & laundry rooms as well as breaking building property like lamps, signs, locks & machinery
    No or slow heat/hot water is an ongoing issue
    Advice to owner:
    Hire more staff for all building repairs & maintenance
    Impose more tenant rules
