Perfect management, far from perfect.
Pros
The backyard is nice
Cons
the backyard is not accessible to everyone, the apt has leaks, the trash is never handled correctly, and the management company takes forever to respond
Advice to the owners
Take better care of your apt building before there is a catastrophic problem...
Good location, terrible management
Pros
Good location, nice backyard and roof access, good light in the rooms
Cons
Perfect Management, consisting of Sarah and Kay, are absolutely useless. Trash didn’t get taken out for over a month. It piled up until it blocked out our downstairs neighbor’s windows. Rats everywhere. Reported them to the city. The only thing that got a response was all the tenants organizing not to pay rent until it was fixed. Our ceiling has been leaking on and off for over a year. There’s black mold growing around the leak. Again, they only really respond when we withhold rent. The lights are some LED fixture that you can’t change yourself, so if they go out, you’re stuck waiting for the landlord. I had to shower with a flashlight for a few weeks until they fixed them. They rented to us for $1100/room. They’re asking for $1475/room now, which is an absolute scam even in this market. Don’t pay it.
Advice to the owners
Do your job, or don’t be surprised when other tenants withhold rent. Fire Sarah and give Albert a raise. Sarah is incompetent and unkind, and should not be working with you.
