It Did the Job
Former Tenant
Pros:
Everyone who lived in the building was lovely, I could not have asked for better neighbors. Extremely pet friendly.
Cons:
The management never responded to any problems (unless FINED by 311) and blamed tenants for everything- even cracks in the ceilings. The stairwell is hardly ever cleaned. The stoop is never cleaned in the winter, ever (at least no rats then). The neighborhood loves harassing women.
Advice to owner:
Come to the property sometime???

Unresponsive landlord who will steal your deposit
Former Tenant
Pros:
The rent was affordable and many of the neighbors were nice. The location was pretty good and near lots of train lines. The low rent would be the only reason to live here, but it’s not worth the giant headache of trying to communicate with the management company.
The space appeared cute (exposed brick, large-ish bedrooms) and well maintained until you got to know it.
Cons:
It was very hard to get ahold of the management company either by phone or email. Often the repairmen did a shoddy job and had to come back multiple times. There was also an issue with the bathtub in the apartment above ours leaking into our apartment. Repairmen came multiple times to patch the hole in the ceiling, but never actually fixed the problem. They put a trash bag over the hole in our ceiling for six months and our calls and emails to address the problem went unanswered. Eventually, rather than actually fix the leak, they put a trap door in the ceiling so the water could drain out.
As a single woman, it was also difficult to communicate with the Hasidic repairmen. I found they treated me oddly and were quite rude, but were kinder to my male roommate.
At the end of our lease, the landlord refused to return my security deposit even though they acknowledged we left the place spotless. I called and emailed repeatedly and was always told it was on the way. This lasted almost a year. It was only after I filed a small claims lawsuit against them that I finally got my check. I realized through many google searches that the landlord has been in trouble with the law for tax fraud. He owns many smaller properties (making you think you’re renting from a small scale landlord) under one giant umbrella company called Royale Management. He will absolutely try to keep your security deposit unless you sue him.
The apartment itself looked cute at first, but my friend coined the term “nouveau crap” regarding the “renovated” space. Cupboards were literally falling off walls.
Advice to owner:
Answer your tenants calls and emails and address their problems in a timely manner. Don’t leave giant holes in your tenants ceilings. Stop stealing security deposits from your tenants!

Urine Luck Here
Former Tenant
Pros:
HUGE bedrooms. Great location. Above a dope coffee spot.
Cons:
The hallways are literally COVERED in animal urine. Tenants were letting their animals urinate in the hallways & living on the top floor, I was forced to walk through it anytime I needed to get anywhere. Can’t help but assume that this was also a primary cause of the roach problem. The hallways were also filled w weed clouds, but that didn’t bother me.
Advice to owner:
Get a management company who holds tenants responsible. That shit was eating through the floors & walls!
