Pros:
genuinely, absolutely nothing.
Cons:
If I could give this place negative stars, I would. Living in this building was an absolute nightmare from day one. Within the first two weeks of moving in, the building manager informed me—completely unprompted—that he would no longer communicate with me by text or phone. Why? Because I dared to ask completely reasonable questions about things like lightbulb fixtures. Imagine being a tenant where asking for basic help is treated like a crime. That was the beginning of four years of hell under their mismanagement.
Here’s a rundown of their greatest hits in negligence:
• A sinking backyard — Yes, the ground in the backyard I was paying extra for was caving in like a manhole. Not only did they ignore this obvious safety hazard, but I couldn’t even use the space because of the next point…
• A ferocious rat infestation — I’m talking rats running rampant to the point that my backyard garden was completely unusable. I told management countless times, and they did not care. The absolute cherry on top? One day, the Super came to “inspect” the backyard, and there was a dead rat that had been eaten by other rats. Naturally, I made him clean it up. I told him we were out of paper towels (we were not) and made him pick up a rotting rat carcass with his bare hands. That’s exactly what he deserved.
• Bathtub not draining — Another recurring issue. I submitted many service requests for this and other problems, but they were all ignored.
• Package theft — Packages disappeared on a regular basis. Security? Accountability? Forget it.
• Severe water damage everywhere — Walls, ceilings — you name it. Stains, peeling paint, and mold creeping through. They never so much as attempted to address it.
• Warped floorboards from unbearable humidity during the summer. Their solution? “Run three industrial-strength dehumidifiers 24/7.” And they, of course, refused to pay for the obscene electricity bills this caused.
This management company is an absolute disgrace. They treat tenants like garbage and ignore even the most dangerous and unsanitary problems. I placed countless service requests over the years—documented ones—and not a single issue was ever properly fixed.
These people are not landlords. They’re slumlords, plain and simple. Their level of incompetence, laziness, and disregard for tenants’ well-being is staggering.
If you are considering renting from them, run far and fast. Do not waste your time, money, or sanity dealing with these people. They are the poster children for everything wrong with property management: lazy, negligent, and indifferent to human decency.
They should be ashamed, but I guarantee you they’re too soulless to feel it.
