Cons:
1) Dirty hallway covered in dust balls all over walls
2)Thin windows and poorly sealed. This wouldn't be too much of an issue if I didn't have a select couple loud neighbors in one of the units who gather in front of the building to wee hours of early morning to drink/smoke with others. In addition, they like to smoke so cigarette and marijuana smoke from the outside makes it's way into the apartment unit. The landlord has put up signs against smoking and loitering. However, it doesn't help as the select neighbors don't listen or move 3 feet to the side walk which doesn't do anything to prevent the smoke from entering.
3) Water leaves an orange residue on my counter.
4) The same select neighbors always sit on the front steps and handle drugs outside of the building.
5) Missing packages. Packages have been stolen several times

Advice to owner:
Work on the air quality:
1)Clean the hallways atleast once a year. The amount of dust that piles up is not great for people with allergies.
2)Seal/reseal all windows or at least the units facing the front of the building where people gather to smoke.
Security:
Install camera in the hallway facing mail to prevent package stealing.
