Building Ok, Landlord price gouges
Pros
Super was relatively fast when maintenance issues arose.
Cons
Rent was raised $900 to renew lease for 4th year
Not worth the price
Pros
I appreciate the size of the apartment, especially the kitchen and bathroom.
Cons
The landlord has been unresponsive, rude, and antagonistic from the beginning. After months of the heat not working, management finally replaced the units. The apartment is poorly insulated, so its cold at all times. This means we have to run the heat frequently and the electric bill is extremely high. It adds about a couple hundred to the rent each month. Also, noise easily reverberates. We can hear the downstairs neighbors like they are in the room. The floors shake when they play music and watch tv loudly.
Advice to the owners
Clean the apartment before the next tenants move in. Also, actually check the apartment to see what needs to be replaced and fixed. Do not wait weeks and months to respond to our concerns.
