Building in foreclosure, receiver hostile to tenants
Pros
Apartment itself is great. Neighbors are great - real community feeling No certificates of occupancy so no rent needs to be paid
Cons
Wiring not up to code - had electrical fire and receiver wouldn't even reply to our messages about it. Ignored us when kitchen sink leaking Elevator constantly out of service, often with tenants trapped inside
Advice to the owners
Stop breaking the law and putting your tenants in danger
Fine for now
Pros
Large balconies, apartment layout is nice
Cons
Current owner is in foreclosure so building was unmanaged for a few months (no garbage collection, no one to contact for repairs, etc.). Worst thing was our front door wouldn’t lock and remained that way for months. Current management is court-assigned and temporary. They came in very aggressive and rude but now it seems like they’re doing the best they can but building still has tons of open violations and bc of that there’s no valid certificate of occupancy. Hi
