Worst experience of my life
Former Tenant
Pros:
Literally only the location.
Cons:
Roaches, dead mice in the wall reeked of literal death and made the apartment uninhabitable, our apartment leaked a river LITERALLY every time it rained and the landlord did NOTHING about it, and our hot water heater broke in the middle of winter and we had to take cold showers while there was SNOW ON THE GROUND for months while the landlord “got around to fixing it,” which he never, in fact, did. There is some problem with the building vent and we would hear enormous bangs on on the ceiling from time to time, like someone was trying to break in or the entire building was about to collapse, which we weren’t convinced it wouldn’t, at any given time. Again, the landlord and super did nothing. Every single package I ever attempted to have delivered got stolen. They keep the trash on the first floor of the building right next to the ground apartment, which is not only illegal, but attracts all kinds of fun creatures. The stairs are quite literally falling down. Water leaks down the entire building every time it rains and drips through cracks in the concrete at the entryway. A new violation from the city was delivered to this address every week. I lived in constant fear at this apartment, just waiting for the next thing to go wrong, which inevitably, it did. Do not live here under any circumstances. Please. Don’t do it.
Advice to owner:
Get out of the rental property business. Please. People deserve a base level of human decency.
