    Could be so much better, horrible management
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Modern kitchen and bathroom. Exposed brick feature. Individual a.c./heat units in each room. There's a back yard, and a washer and dryer in the basement.
    Cons:
    Management company hiked the rent by $1000 in 2023, actually saying "you've had the apartment long enough" when we tried to negotiate, thus basically evicting ALL the top floor residents in 31 AND 33 Montrose, so they can get more money for a poorly managed and cared for residence. Management is SLOW to respond to issues and does not fix 'cosmetic' issues, like broken fixtures, cracked fridge seal (the thing that keeps the fridge door shut), pilot starter on stove top (only half of the stovetop works), or water damage from leaky ceiling or a.c. Took over a month to get maintenance on the a.c. unit that leaked gallons of water daily into the living and bedroom. An air conditioner repair tech said there is something wrong with the water lines, so the leaking air conditioner will always continue to do that. The heater part of the unit is also broken. The exposed brick is NOT properly sealed (evident from regular accumulation of brick dust along floorboards during cleaning) and is falling off in small chunks because of the new building construction two doors down. Leaking ceiling and a.c. units caused floorboards to warp but management won't fix it. Building itself is never cleaned. The back yard is a graveyard of old bikes, grills, tent supports, other random junk thrown back there to rot and grow weeds. Poorly insulated building, judging from the massive icicles that form down the building. The laundry machine in the basement has a carbon monoxide leak issue - instead of fixing it, they put up signage saying "turn on the fan while running the dryer", as if that's the only thing they can do. The skylights leak - we were told by a repair professional that it leaks because the wrong skylight was installed for that fixture.
    Advice to owner:
    Be better - fix the problems when they arise instead of waiting for tenants to move out before you fix things you consider 'cosmetic'. Don't wait a month to finally schedule maintenance on an appliance that is leaking buckets of water
