Slumlord Is Present
Pros
Good neighbors who are fighting the fight with a rent strike.
Cons
Too many too list. Don’t have the time or the space. Constant leaks. Damage to property consistent. Hot water above the legal limit. Gets cold randomly. Rats everywhere outside. Possibly in the walls. Front gate always open. Mailbox doesn’t close. Everything sucks.
Not worth the stress
Pros
The size of the apartment is nice.
Cons
First and foremost, the landlord does not care about the tenants. Good luck trying to get in touch with the agency. I was lucky that one of his people was super responsive. But he ended up leaving. The one that replaced him also ended up leaving eventually. The super is not live-in and comes maybe once or twice a week. The hallways are not clean and generally will find a bunch of flies. Rats are known to infest the basement where the laundry is. The front door bangs shut and hasnt been fixed. I could hear the door shut from the upper floors. The door knob on the inner door keeps falling off. One time, tenants were locked out when the front door lock broke. The heater works but not effectively. It’s right by the window, which i find is not well insulated. Heat escapes easily. Rent increased pretty high for a poorly managed building The neighborhood can be pretty loud; lot of people hanging outside. Lot of people shouting.
