Great apartment at a glance but comes with crazy landlord and a ton of problems
Pros
Big spacious bathrooms and main living area, great natural light.
Cons
Dog in the backyard barked 24/7. The heaters were broken and it would be 85 degrees or higher all winter. The heat and hot water boiler also broke multiple times which the landlord refused to fix. The landlord called a swat team on us when we were having a Christmas party opening presents because he lived next door and we were making too much noise. The landlord is a genuine crazy person and wouldn't really fix or help us with any of the problems in the apartment until we stopped paying rent. My friend who is architect has also noted that the building appears unsafe and needs major renovations or to be condemned. Rent at your own risk.
Advice to the owners
Seek Therapy
Nope don’t do it
Pros
It’s a great central location next to a lot of cool stuff, it’s a corner lot so light is great, large outdoor space
Cons
This building is currently part of a foreclosure suit involving several buildings that the landlord owns. Do not live here even if the apartment is advertised, he is planning on selling the building and the new owners will likely tear it down and you will be kicked out sooner rather than later. The building is not maintained, common areas are never cleaned, there is no place to put garbage, and most calls for repairs go unanswered. Someone took a (human) shit in the front courtyard of this building and it sat there for weeks until the rain washed it away. Our gas keeps getting cut off (twice!) because the landlord doesn’t pay his utility bills and ignores the notices to pay. The decks need to be redone and water comes in through the roof below them. The hot water is barely enough to take a shower with. The apartment is relatively cheap, but overall it’s not worth the stress of living here.
