No Hot Water and Broken Front Door
Former Tenant
Pros:
The apartment itself is well renovated and clean.
Cons:
The radiators are turned on late in the cold season and off before the warm season. The front door to the building is broken so that it is unlocked all of the time such that packages are stolen and strangers are often in the building. The super is completely unresponsive and unhelpful. The landlords are even worse. The hot water works sporadically. There are many week stretches without hot water (think cold showers all of the time). The management has been unresponsive to these issues that should be fixed by law.
Advice to owner:
Fix the front door. Fix the hot water. Follow the laws.
