Pest infested building
Pros
Neighbors are very nice and friendly. Always willing to help you out.
Cons
Pest infested. Mice and roaches run this building. They have monthly pest control but it does nothing. They change supers so often because no one wants to keep the place clean and sealed and so pests come and go constantly. Been living here over 5 years and I’m sick and tired of it and ready to find a new place to live.
Advice to the owners
Knock the whole building down and rebuild it.
Dishonest and deceitful
Pros
The spacious apartment
Cons
I had no heat for the winter of 2022. I complained to the landlady and she sent out the superintendent with his workers to fix the heat which they spent an extensive amount time and days in my home. It was a huge inconvenience to me because it was all day and impromptu visits. Furthermore, after they "fixed" the problem, I still received no heat. I called 311 and they kept coming by to repair. The superintendent had given me an old, untrustworthy space heater that was VERY loud and would shut off and on after a few seconds. Eventually it caught itself on fire. I was still living without any heat and the superintendent would gaslight me and try to make it seem like it was all in my head. Eventually, the heat would come but would go out again during very cold frigid weather. The problem was never solved. Next issue. The landlady twice in a row would add on money to the rent which was not in the agreed upon lease. I would correct her, show her proof and she would deny that she was wrong, only to back peddle and correct her mistake without an apology. She was trying to get more cash from me but I didn't fall for it. Lastly, I needed a new toilet and the landlady told me one of her workers will come the following day to install in the morning. I waited all morning, and he never came. I texted her about his whereabouts, and she acted like she knew nothing of what I was speaking about. Then she texted me back and said he came and rang my bell but I never answered. I said check the surveillance camera right outside by door and see. Then he calls me and apologizes NOT for lying but for not coming because he was busy. They are crooks. They are dishonest and deceitful.
Advice to the owners
Be honest and provide proper heat-be diligent
