Beautiful at first glance
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great quality updates to kitchen and bathrooms, exposed brick, great location, Carlos is a wonderful building manager
Cons:
Completely incompetent ownership, massive mold and flooding issue in ground floor apartments. Absolutely illegal and major health and safety concern. Tenants have had long term health issues from living there and landlord continues to bandaid fix foundation issues and put more people at risk. They’ve tried to get tenants to sign paperwork saying they won’t sue in the future for health issues and luckily they were smart enough to say no. Read all paperwork carefully!
Advice to owner:
Jordan should not be tenant facing though I think you know this. I believe there are family relationships at play. You’re well aware of the issues and need to not count on new tenants lack of awareness to avoid fixing the buildings issues. I believe there will be many future lawsuits as health concerns continue to surface.
