ITS SO BAD
Pros
The only good thing was that maintenance did come the next day to address issues.
Cons
The landlord is a SLUMLORD. Tried to keep all of my security deposit with no proof of any damage? Had a 4 month battle over this and almost went to court. Cockroaches galore. Stairwell is disgusting and homeless people constantly sleeping outside. Heat was SO HOT, spent $300 in ac bills a month bc they wouldn't turn it down. New construction happened halfway through, jackhammers 24/7. Raised my rent $700 couldn't find anyone to pay it after showing it to 40 groups while I was HOME. They ended up literally lowering it to what it was....Worst apt ever.
Slum lord to make the top 100 next year.
Pros
The location of the building is nice and the facade is decent/typical for the area. The common areas are satisfactory.
Cons
The landlord is a slum lord and is extremely unresponsive. He was a terrible landlord to my family. I heard he stole money from an acquaintance of mine that wanted to live there so now he is suing him. This is completely unnecessary. The conditions to move in were guaranteed to be clean, sanitary with no rats or roaches. But there were many rats and roaches observed.
Advice to the owners
Return someone's hard earned money if that person for some reason does not want to live in your rodent infested domicile. It seem like you believe the location alone is good enough and 0 effort to keep the building habitable.
