Carondelet Place Apartments

This apartment building is probably 40 years old which means the materials used for mortar and sealant materials for window frames are surely deteriorating, right? Building is in need of serious structural repair for the safety and health of its 20 family units. It is drafty in the winter and humid and sticky in the summer/due to aluminum window frames not completely sealed with the material originally used when building was first built. The apartment itself is 700sq. ft.: apartment consist of... two rooms, kitchen, bathroom with the oldest ventilation system on earth that unbelievably still works but is very noisy. The walls are very very thin, you can hear your neighbors talking at a normal level through the walls and floors with no effort on your part to try to listen to them whatsoever. It is the dustiest place ever due to the train tracks being 75 feet away from the building, which halls the rail cars of those dangerous combustible liquids that were in the news a few months ago, and the building literally shakes when any train comes through. I am not quite comfortable living here knowing that. I can not afford anything expensive either. Money is a contributing factor as well.
I deserve better than this point blank. I just pray that's all I can do and 'keep it moving forward'.
