A Dangerous Slum
Pros
The apartment did look nice on first glance, and was very spacious. The location is good.
Cons
Pipes have not been updated in a century, water pours from the ceiling and causes mold. When I lived here, I had a permanent sinus infection from the mold. Management is unresponsive or lies, maintenance staff lied about fixing the problem dozens of times, and would just plaster and paint over the mold.
Advice to the owners
Sell the property to someone who will not be negligent and put tenants in danger!
Borderline Slum lords
Pros
Shower water pressure, apartment space
Cons
Landlord non responsiveness to crumbling structure, Cockroaches, building Super lack of detail when fixing issues. Radiator gushing water. Floors are warped and dented in badly due to years of continuous ignored water leaks that pour down from multiple floors above my apartment.
Advice to the owners
Fix water leaks and Radiator massive leak. Super just covers leaks with plaster until ceiling collapses again. Owner got rid of maintenance worker that let cockroaches get overwhelmingly bad. Thats the only good thing. I am rounding about tenant information to make a formal complaint about ignored DOB violations and utilizing media outlets as a tool.
