Neglectful Super and Landlord
Former Tenant
Pros:
The only thing I love about living here in my large 2nd floor apartment with high ceilings.
Cons:
Super lives on site with his entire extended family who are rude, neglectful and shady. Super doesn’t clean, do repairs, or even respond to emergencies. God forbid there’s no heat, a serious leak, or a security issue, don’t expect anything to be fixed. Super is unprofessional and does a crap job. The management company is no better. They fail to send the proper contractors for serious repairs like the ongoing roof leaks. They ask you to send repair requests to their email, yet you never get a reply. Stay away, don’t say we didn’t warn you.
Advice to owner:
Maintain your building and get a new super!

Do not rent in 537-545!
Former Tenant
Pros:
There's no pro I can think of that can outweigh the cons below.
Cons:
The super and his family run this building! They have units around this building and god forbid you live above or below them. They all have washing machines that back up your tub, block up the lobby to use the storage units under the stairs, and if you express any concern they will begin to harass and intimidate you. The super is not full time and leaves on vacations throughout the year with no coverage. The families run year-round boarding houses for their friends and the units typically have 8+ people living in a 1 bedroom. My tub and sink have been backing up for almost 2 years and they can't resolve it because that would taking away their washing machine. Meridian Property Management is aware and choose to ignore it. Please stay away!
Advice to owner:
How many reviews here alone complain about the super? Are we really all problem tenants?

DO RENT HERE
Former Tenant
Pros:
THERE IS NOTHING I CAN POST THAT WOULD BE A PRO.
Cons:
YOU ARE LUCKY IF THE SUPER CLEANS THE LOBBY AND STAIRWELL ONCE A YEAR. MANAGEMENT DOESN'T DO REPAIRS, I'VE HAD A WINDOW AND CEILING LEAK FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS AND ALL MANAGEMENT DID WAS BAND AID THE PROBLEM. NEIGHBORS ARE ALWAYS MOVING OUT DUE TO NO RESPONSE ON REPAIRS. ALSO WHEN THE SUPER GOES ON VACATION AS HE'S ENTITLED TO DO SO, NO ONE COVERS THE ISSUE WITH TRASH AND IT JUST PILES UP. THREE YEARS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM IS ENOUGH FOR ME.
Advice to owner:
NO ADVICE HERE I'M QUITE SURE THEY KNOW WHATS GOING ON:(

Run away from Dean Street Associates and Meridian Properties
Former Tenant
Pros:
Like the location.
Cons:
Owner is unresponsive. Super is unresponsive taking months to fix anything. If he "fixes" anything the quality is sub sub standard, with cheap materials and will need to be fixed again soon.
