Major exterior/interior flaws/damages that need attention!
Former Tenant
Pros:
It's still standing! Literally
Cons:
Everything from fixing apartments, not just putting a band-aid on much needed work to awful smell coming out of some tenants' apartments like if someone died. Interior of apartments are worn out, NUMEROUS SAFETY CONCERNS, window guards worn out almost pull them off, rotten wood, foul smell. Hallways & staircase always dirty like filthy, need better garbage disposals roaches the size of beetles, cat size rats running wild..
Advice to owner:
There's no advice, my original advice got deleted. The property owners don't care, as long as they are getting paid there's not much concern for the major flaws, restoration and safety issues. the building is still standing because the tenants are the ones having to pay out of pocket to get any type of renovation. It's sad that there's religious people profiting from minorities that know no better and don't mind their living conditions.
