Rotting Floors and Filthy Shared Space
Pros
The people in the building are really nice, and the block itself is quiet. The building is conveniently located right by the G and busses, which is also great.
Cons
The floors in the apartment unit are rotting, revealing nails and staples. They chip away with just a vacuum and have caused several splinters. They NEVER clean the the building. There are cobwebs filling the entryway, along with glass shards, pests and wrappers. In the winter, when snowing, they don't salt the sidewalk or clear the stairs of ice and snow. The backyard is overgrown and has pests as well. The window moldings are coming apart as well. Getting to the backyard is also a bit treacherous, as the basement is essentially some exposed wooden planks and rubble.
Advice to the owners
Clean the building and cut the grass in the backyard! Stop being cheap. It is not a difficult task to hire someone for a few hours to sweep and mop the entryway of a building, at the very least, once a month.
