Poor Maintenance and Hazardous Living Conditions
Former Tenant
Pros:
The biggest pro for me is that the apartment and my floor in general is pretty quiet. I'm in a unit that is not street facing and in between two units. One has been vacant the entire time I have been here it seems and the other I never really hear much through the walls. Also on the 4th floor so no noise from above.
Cons:
AVOID AT ALL COSTS - it is cheap for a reason. The building is old and poorly maintained. Absent, unorganized, cheap, and unresponsive management with underqualified maintenance workers. Infestations - roaches (german and other types) because of a specific unit or units that have housed several obviously mentally unwell people who collect trash/recycling etc and are generally unhygienic and unsuitable for living alone. Mice sightings as well that because of poor construction and not ceiling gaps or cracks etc. The exterminators do less than the bare minimum they just spot treat but as long as things remain unsealed and unhygienic units attract pests the issues will never be resolved. I assume they hide the extermination list in the lobby when showing units because I don't remember seeing one. I once went into the cellar and they had many mouse traps with live mice in them so maintenance knows. There was scaffolding on the front facade for 2-3 years because of structural cracks in the brick facade and it took them that long to fix it. Common areas are not well kept and always look dirty - quite frankly embarrassing to have guests. The paint is peeling off the walls in ALL corridors like actually just detaching from the concrete block because of age and lack of maintenance. Obvious leaks in the ceiling of the lobby. No secure package room and packages are frequently stolen. I could go on for days.
Advice to owner:
Stop being cheap. Level the building and reconstruct at this point the whole thing is just one big infestation. It seems like they prey on people looking for affordable units.
