    Relatively clean and safe, bad management

    Some pros of living here:
    -The complex has many units and the inside hallways generally seems well maintained and clean.
    - The units are decent- not as run down as some other places in the vicinity

    Cons:
    - Manager does not deal with a plugged trash chute in a timely manner... thus there will be weeks where the hallways smell like garbage and one must wear an oxygen mask to make it to his unit alive
    - Mold appears frequently on certain unit walls because the managing company Premium Properties
    … is too cheap to use higher quality paint
    - Management sometimes ignores maintenance requests, such as a poorly functioning refrigerator or broken laundry machines
    - It is inconvenient to have to commute to the Oakland office to turn in rent when the manager lives in the unit
    - Rent continuously increases every year
