Advice to the owners
Fire the Super
Why are we paying rent?
Pros
Only thing I like is that we live in the city so it’s convenient to get around. Also thankful I do have a place to live but come on these living conditions is POOR.
Cons
The rats is getting out of control. It’s said there’s been bombs of poison killing them but it’s still a lot of them around that we have to walk in the middle of the street to avoid them. You’ll even see dead rats flattened on the road. The water pressure comes and goes. Literally last night it was fine then towards the end of my shower it was getting weak. Plus some days I have to boil water or even other times it’s no water. Idk how many times they’ve repaired the pipes and boiler. I’ve lost count. They have fixed the garbage situation, but they places the bins of trash and recycling deeper into the hallway into the basement and people aren’t comfortable walking down there into the rats den. I don’t blame them so as a result people just leave their trash at the top of the hallway and if piles up again leading to rats scavenging through that. The super does the bare minimum. I’ve recently been putting papers up expressing my disgust and frustration of the building and he’s gone to every single one 3 days in a row taking them down. Keep in mind I’ve gone to all 5 floors on both wings and he has too to remove them. Something so harmless, attached to the wall with tape he said is illegal and unproductive. If he has the time to go to every floor and remove them he has time to mop and sweep as well. There’s been other people cleaning that isn’t the super and they clean every other day maybe even 3-5 days without cleaning sometimes. What good is help if they not doing their part as well? Not too long ago my mothers bedroom light stopped working, she told the super about it and it’s been almost 3 weeks since he’s done something about it. Let me not forget to mention MOLD growing in my closest for over a year now, that HE KNOWS about too. He said he could paint and put plaster on it but the real problem is the roof and the exterior of the building. Until that gets fixed it’ll just keep coming back. If he knows about these problems, he has the power too to tell his employer about the problems and help his tenets. But i guess he hasn’t done so or the landlord gives 2 s***s about us so please tell me…. Who is the real unproductive one? Who is the one allowing this to happen?
Advice to the owners
How can you live with yourself knowing not only my apartment (4C) but many others as well face similar problems that have been ongoing for weeks, months EVEN YEARS???? I recently called the landlord, sent complaints to 311 and again let the super know about what’s going on. If these problems continue with no resolve or efficient solution…. Don’t be surprised if you have a lawsuit on your hands. **** you have the day you deserve.
