The apartment
The apartment building has been plagued by various issues since the new management took over a year ago.
Infestations of cockroaches, flies, and other bugs, particularly in the hallways, especially the 6th floor, are a major problem.
The hallway carpet perpetually stinks due to residents leaving their trash by their doors.
The trash chute is perpetually clogged, forcing residents to limit their trash disposal to the first floor.
Residents have been known to cause false fire alarm panics,... leading to multiple incidents of fire service visits and the imposition of an out-of-service tag on the building for repeated false alarms.
The elevators malfunction continuously, forcing residents to rely on the stairs.
The laundry facilities often have faulty machines, which are inconvenient, especially during peak hours.
The streets outside are perpetually dirty and crowded with people engaged in drug use. Occasionally, drug fumes enter the building through open windows, creating a noisy and unsuitable environment for working from home, even at night.
One particularly unpleasant incident occurred when a resident urinated in the elevators, causing a foul odor that lingered for several days.
Another distasteful occurrence is that the lights in my apartment, which I believe is the case for other apartments that share the same breaker, have been flickering continuously. Most of the time, they shut down during the day and night, which also causes the fridge to turn off, causing food to spoil. This issue has been reported, but the management continues to prioritize other matters and has not fixed it. It’s currently obstructing my work since I primarily work from home.
In summary, you would save your money by not living in this extremely horrible apartment.
