    2022 Worst landlord: number 39
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The tenants are all great, being right next to the Church ave station is very convenient. Some apartments are renovated-ish.
    Cons:
    There is an obscene amount of open HPD violations that are ignored such as: faulty elevators people get stuck in, rodents and roaches, leaking ceilings, water being cut off from the whole building with no / short notice, etc. Tenants have had to organize in order to have basic needs met!
    Advice to owner:
    Meet our demands and provide livable housing to all tenants.

    Home is where the heart is
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Same block as train
    Amazing community and environment
    Cultural environment
    Amazing restaurants, clothing stores, and other establishments
    Laundromat!
    Cons:
    It can be pest but once controlled the problem is solved. Same for waterbugs is the summertime.
    Advice to owner:
    Can be more consistent

    7 year tenant review
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    1. Spacious rooms, especially bedroom and living room.
    2. Eric is a wonderful porter and works hard at his job.
    Cons:
    1. Noise levels of neighbors outside.
    2. Right by a train so tons of pedestrian traffic.
    3. Rats starting to come in the front because people leave trash in the front of the building.
    Advice to owner:
    A building upgrade every few years won't hurt.
    Over 2 years ago
    Good, needs some work
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Manager was pretty responsive
    Cons:
    No trash chutes, roaches
    Advice to owner:
    Step up extermination, really work to keep halls clean.
