    Expect mold and leak problems every 2 to 4 months
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    The sense of community is really strong in the building and that is what really made it hard to want to leave. the people are great. The superintendent is overworked but kind and the that’s all I can say.
    Cons:
    about every 2 to 4 months, there would be a leak that would come in from the ceiling of my bathroom. It caused massive black mold problems, and when we tried to address the issue instead of hiring professional plumbers, the superintendent tried to fix it and moved the upstairs neighbor’s toilet breaking the wax seal and not fixing the leaks. for about two weeks, I had fecal matter, dripping on my head and had to use an umbrella when using the bathroom. when attempting to patch it up, they just covered it with cardboard boxes and let me sit and suffer because they didn’t see that it was an emergency situation contacted 311 and filed reports for mold and when they came over to do the inspectionthey didn’t get to see the black mold in the closet because the people repairing the bathroom we’re standing in front of the closet door. after the repair, the leak returned about every 2 to 4 months, occasionally bringing mushrooms and all sorts of cracks and drips along the way awake at one point the lock on my door snapped, and I was locked inside the apartment and when I asked for help, there was no one there to help me because it was after 6 PM so their suggestion was to Jimmy my way out of my apartment with a knife and put tape over the latch and wait a few days until they could get somebody to come and repair the lock. Are you kidding me so I paid $600 out-of-pocket to have the lock repaired and when I asked to be reimbursed for the emergency situationfor being locked inside of my apartment they refused and then after all of this the leak still came back. then on top of it all, the floor in clutches started bouncing under a large cracked tile, told the landlord about it, no one came to fix it. I payed my rent on time every month and now I’m leaving sad and worn thin.
    Advice to owner:
    fix your building! it’s falling apart! even the lobby is dripping and falling apart. quit being a slumlord and condemn the place or gut it.
