My beautiful Bergen Bungalow
Former Tenant
Pros:
I like that most of my neighbors have lived here for 2+ years. Shows loyalty and that I got a good deal.
We have a laundry room in the building.
Shout out to my landlord who handles my requests in a timely manner.
Love the location and safety of the unit.
Does not get too crazy hot in the winter.
My appliances are all new, so that is nice.

Cons:
There’s a bit of a pest problem, but after having the exterminator come in a couple of times this summer, it seems to be improving.
I wish the laundry room machines didn’t need coins.
I would prefer paying rent through an online system versus check.

Please update the system where we could pay rent electronically

Lease Renewal Ghosting
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great location, there's an elevator and the upkeep for the apartment building is pretty consistent.
Super comes almost immediately to fix issues.
Neighbors are great, really chill building.

Cons:
The elevator door gets stuck every day and sometimes people get stuck in it.
Mouse problem for a few months.
75% of the tenants are being ghosted by the landlord on renewing leases. They will not respond to any of us or will say some excuse saying they're busy and haven't gotten to it. We're all almost a year without a lease renewal sitting on the edge nervous that we'll be kicked out at any moment.
