Worst living experience
Pros
Nothing appealing about this building.
Cons
First, the landlord ask inappropriate questions regarding if you have a boyfriend, or a father of your children before moving in. As a single woman, this can be very intimidating being that they are trying to make sure that you have no help or person around. The superintendent never answers any phone calls or text messages regarding any repairs and neither does the landlord. There is a terrible infestation of roaches and mice. And you will have to spend money out of your pocket to take care of those problems, because no extermination is done or inspections. There is mold, peeling paint, cracked ceilings, broken floor tiles all over the apartment, waiting for months of repair and nobody comes to repair them. When they are repaired, they are just patched over, but not repaired. This building is ground for drug sales and is constantly broken into where people sit and smoke in the lobby, and even homeless people have slept in the lobby area. When you walk up the stairs in this walk up building the rails of the staircase, have missing bars and are also loose. Having children living in these apartments or even yourself, you have safety risk of your health. There is constant noise or music, being blasted by the neighbors at all hours of the night. The landlord has no respect towards women and will harass you about rent, even when it is paid.
Building looks
Pros
The older residents look out for each other. lol
Cons
The lobby is always full of men smoking weed and selling weed to junkies! The front entrance has a small space where the junkies wait for their product! Stairs are always dirty with food/ bottles.. spit everywhere. The elevator is always dirty as well. With garbage bags and food containers. The hallways are dirty and roaches come into the apartments from outside! The windows are busted and bugs come in through there as well. The pests are out of control. I have never seen so many different bugs in my life.
Advice to the owners
Change your super . He is okay and aware of all thats going on. I speak for myself .. It looks worse than a project building. Tenants are willing to call the authorities for this lobby situation and them smoking in the hallways. A lot of us have small kids and the smell comes into our apartments.
