    AVOID THIS APARTMENT
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The neighborhood is safe and family oriented.
    Cons:
    Building-Wide Problems:
    - Major water leaks originating on 5th floor affecting multiple units
    - Complete heating system failure leaving residents without heat
    - Unpaid building electric bill exceeding $250,000
    - All management contact numbers non-functional
    - No way to reach management for emergencies
    - Extensive black mold throughout building
    - Floors caving in throughout structure
    - Unexplained walled-off sections differing from standard floor plans

    Specific Unit Conditions (First Floor Apartment):
    - Shower water actively penetrating through living room walls requiring emergency DIY sealing
    - Bathroom floor tiles reaching dangerous temperatures of 180°F at night due to compromised boiler system
    - Severe structural concerns unique to this unit
    - Layout doesn't match other apartments
    - Broken window unrepaired for two years
    - Emergency DIY repairs being ignored by management

    Legal History & Management Issues:
    - Building under investigation for submitting false repair completion reports
    - Previous tenants won 2019 legal judgment ($2,000 rent credit, $2,000 cash, repairs) - still unpaid as of late 2024
    - Pattern of ignoring court orders and legal obligations
    - History of evading responsibility for repairs and compensation
    - Multiple documented cases of violating tenant rights
    - Basic habitability standards consistently violated

    The combination of building-wide issues and unit-specific hazards creates an unsafe and potentially uninhabitable living environment. Current residents should:
    1. Document all issues thoroughly with photos, videos, and written records
    2. Contact city housing inspectors immediately
    3. Consider legal action through tenant rights organizations
    4. File formal complaints with housing authorities
    5. Save all communication attempts with management

    Prospective tenants should absolutely avoid this building until these serious issues are resolved. The pattern of negligence, combined with specific unit hazards, suggests systemic problems that go beyond normal maintenance issues.
    Advice to owner:
    I don't know how you sleep at night.
