    Great building in a great neighborhood
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Mostly safe (had one stolen package and one random guy sleeping in the front in 2 years), apt D was newly renovated, easy to live there
    Cons:
    A lot of construction (couldn’t do much about that though) and it’s done by now, we had an ant problem for a while

    Gorgeous location, gross landlord
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    It’s a beautiful building, lovely neighborhood and convenient to all.
    Cons:
    The landlord! I couldn’t move fast enough. He has repeatedly failed to address serious issues with heat and pests. Instead of fixing, he makes your life miserable so you move. Just another slumlord who cares only for money, and nothing about the people in his building.
    Advice to owner:
    Be human? Hire competent workers and rent at a fair price. Stop harassing your tenants.

    Keep up the great work!
