Former tenant·Over 2 years ago

Nice building and landlord, but can be overbearing

Pros

Landlord keeps it very clean Generally friendly neighbors

Cons

Landlord very overbearing, only calls or visits to complain about something you unintentionally did. Will call at 11pm on a weekend night to complain. Good hearted lady but needs to chill out! Some tenants not the best (5 ppl in a 1br, sexual orientation comments) Neighborhood has gotten horrible - witnessed a shooting outside unit, lots of racism, aggressive homeless people. Do not wander at night unless you have solid street smarts at minimum

Advice to the owners

Take it easy and let your tenants live their lives, as long as they're paying rent
