Terrible Building - Beware
Former Tenant
Pros:
Washer/Dryer in building
Cons:
Apartment repairs take months or are never done. Super is unresponsive and building is horrendously maintained. The stairwell is filthy and never cleaned. The hallways are mopped every once every two months if lucky. Dead roaches litter the lobby for weeks. The boiler regularly fails in the winter so there are plenty of cold nights with no heat or hot water.
Advice to owner:
Please take some pride in your building. Tenants should not have to live in filth while you continue to hike the rent.
