I currently rent and I’m leaving once the lease ends. I have more of a problem with the building, which is a learning lesson in itself, than with the management. Yeah, it’s like pulling teeth but eventually they help out, though not as fast as you’d want them to. Not enough for me to stay as a tenant. Overall, avoid at all costs.

Thank you for this! Curious what you mean by having more of a problem with the building?

To keep it short we had a lot of pest control issues which is normal in any big building, so I can’t fault it but the way management handled it was frustrating. I just have really rowdy neighbors, a disgusting laundry room, and construction below my unit that went on for 6 months. One positive that came out is I know what to look out for next time I’m looking at apartments. I was in a rush to move last year so thats why I applied. You live and you learn!

Makes sense. Thank you! It’s honestly hard to tell whether or not Jasco might even be an improvement. We’ve had rodents and flooding, have a broken mailbox, our buzzer is busted/not repairable (landlord told me to buy a wireless doorbell). The apartment itself is also really ugly (I was also in a rush to move). Honestly I’m real torn. I pay dirt cheap rent and love my neighborhood (live in the heights), but it’s a pain to get to and from the city (which I do all the time!).

Appreciate your honest take on it!

Moving all around is tough! But I believe it would be so great in the long run to not deal with constant issue after issue—though it’s a gamble overall to find out whether an apartment is good or not, Jasco has a reputation for being…the worst. Even exterminators have said their buildings are terrible and gross!

I live in the Heights and am near Hoboken so I walk to the Congress St light rail to get to the path. Not a bad commute at all, plus there’s bus stops around. Maybe look around the Central Ave/Palisade Ave area?
