Avoid At All Costs

Terrible, non-existent property management. Takes months to fix necessary things like a dishwasher or HVAC system. Basement has been broken into several times now. Going on 3 years of nonstop construction. No elevator, no in-unit wash/dryer - which makes the steep rent overpriced. You can get so much more for your time and dollar elsewhere.
