living here made me want to kill myself
Pros
Needed a cheap place to live, thought living with 3 other college kids would be fine.
Cons
Bedrooms can hardly fit a twin bed. We got bedbugs 3 times. The ceiling under the top floor’s balcony caved in and destroyed all of our furniture, and water flooded the whole building for days. Locked out? the super can’t get yohad to get a therapist to deal with living here, after only 6 months and 8 months I cut my lease short and illegally sublet because I was becoming suicidal from this apartment. 20 minute walk to any train station. Extremely loud traffic. Now it’s full of screaming kids. Landlord was evicting and buying out low income families to renovate and charge thousands for apartments where the washer constantly failed and the kitchen cabinet doors would fall off. The dishwasher didn’t even function and flooded us twice.

BED BUGS
Pros
Positives were outweighed by the negatives.
Cons
There were bed bugs existing in the building that management did not inform us of before moving in. We had to deal with bed bug treatment multiple times during our one year lease, which we are positive did not come from us because they were appearing in random areas of the apartment (bathroom, kitchen, etc.). When our lease was ending, we repeatedly asked building management to pay for a service to confirm there were no bed bugs in the unit so that we could safely move out into a new building and were repeatedly ignored (30+ calls and emails respectively over the course of months). Move in at your own risk.
Advice to the owners
Don’t ignore your tenants.
