There’s nothing to like

Roaches rats not secure

Sell it to someone who cares

The super was actually great the landlord and property manager were soulless crooks. Actually the super definitely lied on all the leaks I originally had.

I’ll try to keep this short but it was terrifying especially doing this with my toddler at the time.

-1st floor apt but it Leaked when it rained, yes from the roof all the way to my closet

- Every snow fall it had to be shoveled from the roof which of course slammed against my 1st floor apt window.
- one rainy day firefighters are on the roof stating it was “moving like Jello” ( i wish I was joking)
- same day apt flooded water in outlet almost sparked fire. Had to vacate for 7 months!!

- of course they found led paint in apt had to get everyone checked especially my daughter which was 2 at the time.
- Debris fell in my eye when my ceiling were collapsing causing me to have an infection(agonizing pain)
- This was covered by local news and had a random politician in my house who did absolutely nothing to help but show face btw

- Month 5 property manager tried to make me sign new lease on 5th floor apt with similar issues but sneaked in something stating that I owed the last 5 months of rent of which I didn’t live there, I knows something was up when she visited my workplace to try to pressure me to signing.

- Fast forward to court date they still wanted back rent during renovations which I couldn’t live there, judge laughed at them and assured they did right.

- Thank you for coming to my Ted talk don’t ever rent here please!

Worst experience of my life as a young father going through this was hell. You’re definitely lucky this didn’t go through more litigation, I hope this building gets the work it needs for the tenants sake that can’t afford to move out.
