“Unit 3W Pros: - It was an apartment. Technically. Cons: I lived here since I was a child, and I am now an adult starting my career. I am not making any of these statements lightly. Anything you could imagine about my description below I assure you is an underestimation of how terrible this building is. Take the worst idea you may have and multiply it by at least 10-20x. - Bedbugs - Roaches - Rats - Bathroom ceiling that caves in once every year because of broken pipes - Electricity goes out every summer if too many people in the building use ACs - Unresponsive landlord - Condescending landlord who belittles you because of where you came from - Super of the building is incompetent - Any basic repairs take weeks to months for completion - Any meaningful repairs will not be properly taken care of. Instead, there will be a cosmetic solution. That will take weeks to months for completion - Literally, anything else that you could think of that may possibly fail. Will fail. Advice to landlord: There's not much to say. He owns the property. Doesn't do much else besides that.”
