Hollow core doors that fall apart when you put a hook on one side. There are roaches and rats and we have also had a problem with bedbugs. They are charging top dollar for these shabby apartments.

The current owner uses the cheapest quality materials when he does any work. Crumbling cheap wood cabinets that shed into the food you eat. Hollow core doors that fall apart when you put a hook on one side. There are roaches and rats and we have also had a problem with bedbugs. They are charging top dollar for these shabby apartments. One bedrooms that they have cut up to make tiny 2 bedrooms. Nothing ever gets fixed. It gets patched which causes constant leaks. A Manager who the characterizes ogre landlord, who would rather see you die then fix anything. Heat goes out for several days every winter. Too many people on 1 boiler causes there to be no hot water in the morning. I caution anyone looking to rent in these buildings to beware. I wish I could give you my personal phone number without repercussions. I have been here 2 years and cannot wait to leave. [less]
