Slum landlord who gives zero attention to this building. Do not rent here.
Former Tenant
Pros:
If there are any pros it's the convenience of the location. Right by the M and 10 mins walk to the L.
Cons:
Where do I even begin.. landlord is unresponsive, there's an extreme rat issue, building walls are cracking, zero maintenance of the building - hallways absolutely never cleaned, trash is always a mess, mailboxes are all broken, heating is extremely inconsistent, and the "super" just leaves messages on read and does not do anything. His son lives in the building and they use the basement like it's their personal storage. Not sure what the super gets paid for cause he doesn't help any of the tenants with any issues, has his son and his mom live in the building, and he ignores all our messages! The owner owns 35 other buildings and so there's zero accountability and care into this place.
Advice to owner:
Please show some care into this building cause it's a trash of a building.
