Too many problems
Pros
The heat works and I had a nice stove
Cons
Occasional roaches, the people above us would keep us up from 5am-11pm every day & night with constant stomping and running. We couldn’t keep glasses too close to each other in cabinets bc they would chip. We had cracks in the ceilings from all the commotion above us. The bathwater constantly came out brown bc the buildings plumbing was so old. One time a pipe burst on the top floor and it leaked all the way down to the lobby. All they did was pop the water bubbles in the walls and paint over it which lead to a fruit fly infestation in our bathroom. It was the best feeling leaving that building.
Advice to the owners
Just burn the building down & start over
Terrible and unlivable
Pros
My stove is nice.
Cons
Constant issues with roaches, rusty bathwater, terrible/unreliable super, hot water is not always available, hornet infestation outside building, the main floors in lobby/outside units have not been cleaned in years, when I moved in the apartment was not cleaned and was COVERED in cat hair. The building is naturally hot, so my electric bill for a 700 square foot unit is $300 a month in the summer. They will allow a family of 4-5 to move into a 1 bedroom unit, so it’s unbearably noisy at all times. The realty company that manages the building will never pick up their phones, and will send late notices days after rent is paid because they are so disorganized.
Advice to the owners
Fix this building and these conditions so people can stop living in hell.
