    Dirty and Disgusting
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    • Large rooms
    • Neighbors aren’t loud and disruptive (at least on my floor)
    Cons:
    • PESTS - mice, roaches, flies
    • Dirty - the stairways are never cleaned, the elevator always stinks, the lobby is only “cleaned” when Jacob (one of management) is visiting
    • Temperature - winter months are terrible because of low heat
    • Repairs - they seem to source the cheapest labor which results in mediocre work
    Advice to owner:
    Building needs an overhaul with better heat and cleanliness.
