Old Building Without The Charm
I was so excited to move into Cobbler and finally live in Old Town in a charming loft unit. However, the charm was quickly lost as I learned about all the “perks” I get living in the building. I’ll start with pests. I can count 3 different species of spiders that I find and kill nearly daily that regular sprays do not stop. Spiders have been found in my bathroom, closet, kitchen, BED - you name it. I also have the joy of finding earthworms (yes, you read that right), rollie pollies, and now... centipedes. Additionally, I’ve had to invest hundreds of dollars in heaters, fans, and humidifiers due to a horribly inefficient and outdated HVAC system. Think: 80 upstairs and barely 65 downstairs with no air circulation. Brick falls apart if you touch certain areas in the unit due to negligence, and management’s fix is a temporary sealer that looks like whitewash painted on the bricks. Other building perks include hearing your neighbors’ every conversation, smelling their dinner or when they decide to smoke, and oh! I also don’t think they’ve ever cleaned the gym. There have been handprints on the mirror since I’ve moved in.
I’m in an outdated split-level unit, and I truly hope this isn’t everyone’s experience. However, I thought I would share before someone else naively signs without seeing their unit or an honest review.
