This is a horrific building and landlord DO NOT MOVE HERE
Pros
The location is the only redeemable quality of this horrific building
Cons
-there are roaches EVERYWHERE and there was a mice problem in this building because this building has holes EVERYWHERE in the walls and on the floors and even a giant gap in the ceiling that cockroaches climb through and other pests -there have been so many issues with this property that I have repeatedly informed the property manager and maintenance director of and they have not done anything to help me for the year and a half that I have lived here -the dishwasher does not work and looks about 15 years old and was full of mold and the previous residents dishes when I moved in -the hot water NEVER works and the bath tub is literally duck taped together -the bathroom floor looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in 10 years when we moved in and even after repeated bleaching the floor has severe staining and has gunk between the tiles -the mirror in the bathroom has broken shelves in it so you can’t use it for storage -there is NO ventilation nor any fans in the kitchen or the bathroom -there is severe water damage and the building is generally structurally unsound and the property manager will do nothing to repair the water damage I am genuinely worried my upstairs neighbor might fall through the ceiling on us one day -although our neighbors are generally nice there is one extremely homophobic woman living in the building and she is very intolerant to any sound -the oven doesn’t really get hot and only one out of the four stove tops work -the apartment clearly hadn’t been cleaned after the residents who lived there before us moved out: the heater was literally falling off the wall as was the toilet paper and towel rod was off the wall and there was cat hair everywhere and dirty dishes in the dishwasher and old cleaning supplies behind the fridge and food stains in the fridge -they also did not inform us that there would be a huge construction project on the building before pressuring us to sign the lease -the landlord has no soul and he increased rent $500 after one year even though the building is disgusting and is falling apart and clearly just wanted to pay for the construction project that is a hazard to all residents health and mental well being ( do NOT move here if you are planning to work from home) -the hallways have peeling ugly wallpaper with many holes in the wall and water damage that were clearly attempted to be covered up and the hallways smell like piss and mold
Advice to the owners
Please do better and communicate with your residents. Fix the building before extorting your residents.
