The walk-through provided the opportunity to observe that the property is well maintained. There are four bathrooms on each floor; each room has ceiling fans, hardwood floors and window shades. The graffiti has been removed from the exterior walls. There is a live-in superintendent who is maintaining the facility. Additionally, there are multiple security cameras aimed at multiple points of view to ensure full coverage of each floor, which are checked by the owner’s security several times a week. The Police Department continues to conduct vertical patrols twice a week. Finally, the owner, Michael Rosen, will join the West Midwood Community Association and attend as many meetings as possible.
