    Renters quality of life
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Trash management and recycleables
    Cons:
    No security cameras, loitering inside and out side main entrance by people smoking and drinking that do not reside in the building no working elevator, unusable courtyard for tenants, not enough sufficient heat provided, no energy efficient windows in the building, packages are often stolen because of lack of security and the absence of working cameras.
    Advice to owner:
    Stop running these apartments like low income housing or the projects. The rent is very expensive yet their are little to no services provided for tenants. Also a big ussye is no working cameras.

    I would give it a C
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    It’s in a fairly decent neighborhood
    Cons:
    The Super and his friends cooking in the back yard with loud noises and the smoke entering my Apartment , am asthmatic and shouldn’t be in Smokey environment
    Advice to owner:
    They should come out and check whatever is going on with the building , because when complaints are made they just don’t do anything about it
