Don’t live here
Former Tenant

Good light in our apt

Insect and rodent infested. No ramps, no laundry, packages get stolen all the time. Landlord rep is rude and yells if you have a complaint. Takes super a long time to fix the front door and other essential maintenance.

Horrible Building
Former Tenant
Pros:
Lots of people are pretty nice.
Cons:
1 - Cleanliness ( the floors are not mopped every day. Elevators are not cleaned in the pandemic)
2- Packages are always stolen and the building super does nothing about it)
3- doors are always broken
4- back of building looks like a junkyard. No bins.
5- the front of the building smells like dog pee, is full of dog shit, there is green moss all over the floor. And on the weekend it looks like a slum.
6- no heat and low water pressure
7- no notice about water being turn off or anything in building
8- super is lazy. You call him and he never comes. He is always accusing tenants of things.
9- mario is much more of a super than the actual super
10- apts are not up to code. The wiring had caused fires before.
11- you have to call the management and super a lot to even look at things and then they fix it incorrectly
12- the super give keys go his friends for the access back door and no tenant in building gets a key.
13- when super work on the apts he wants a top before he does it
14- because of seniors in the building, there is no ramp or accessible access for disabled people.
15- rats, tons of roaches, bedbugs infest the building. You need to fumigate the building immediately. The spraying from exterminator is not working.
