The heat works and I had a nice stove

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.

Just burn the building down & start over

My stove is nice.

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.

Fix this building and these conditions so people can stop living in hell.

Close to Q10 bus and many stores nearby. Safe neighborhood.

The super is a very old man who gives you attitude every time something needs to be done. He did not properly clean the apartment before I moved in. Apparently, it was rented by a cat lady so the apartment reeks of cat urine every time the heat comes on.  Instead of removing cat hair from the walls, he simply painted over them, thereby sealing the smell and hair into the walls. Two years later, and hundreds of dollars in cat urine products used, the smell still won’t come out. 

The owner refuses to fix the water hammer sound that occurs during the heating season. Therefore, you will hear loud banging and clanging at all hours of the night. 

The walls are very thin and poorly insulated. You will hear your neighbors’ conversations.

Even though this is a non-smoking building, tenants still smoke in their apartments. The super and management refuses to do anything.

Broken items are temporarily fixed.

The building floors are rarely mopped/swept. The floors are generally sticky and dirty.

The building is next to a loud bar so you will hear drunken fights at all hours of the night.

Walk up building so good luck dragging your laundry and groceries up the stairs. Delivery personnel leave your heavy packages in the lobby.

Poor upkeep so good tenants rarely stay. Noticed an increase in roaches within the past year.

Pay a fair wage to your employees and hire competent super/property managers.  Repair items properly. Your penny pinching ways are why good tenants keep leaving.
