Roach filled and scammy landlord
Pros
Love the location and large closets
Cons
Water is often out for hours or days, cockroaches run rampant, and landlord will attempt to illegally charge you for maintenance
This building needs to be shut down and gutted
Pros
Great location, near 4 trains and great neighborhood.
Cons
Ok for starters, we were all the way up the 13 flights of stairs. That was rough. Needs an elevator. We lived with roaches the entire time we were there and we had to buy our own products to get rid of them. If we leave we would have to constantly spray the apartment and at nights before going to bed. It was a sauna in there we had to open the windows in the winter. The building is not insulated or sealed up properly so we were constantly getting a full dose of weed smoke in over apartment when the neighbors would smoke. So our winters were comprised of doses of weed in a hot apartment with the smell of roaches blowing up through the walls with the smoke, every 20 minutes. I would have to deep clean everyday. I was scared to go to the garbage room because there were these big old rats always jumping at you when it gets dark. There was no buzzer so if you order food you would have to make it all the way down the 13 flights of stairs and back. The landlord was nice but you could tell he does care to fix anything that you asked of him. To top it off he raised our rent $650 and the day when we were moving out, he wanted to charge us for the broken blinds that came with the place and we were told was gonna get fixed before we moved in. Good thing we had pictures and videos to back that up. So crazy! As I said, this place needs to be gutted and renovated because it’s truly is a great neighborhood.
Advice to the owners
Stop being so cheap and fix your apartment building. This is where people have to live and also you are making money from the tenants. Just do better!
