Warning: DO NOT work with Habitation Realty. They used to be trustworthy but now broker for shady landlords, namely the owner of 1710 Indiana St, 5123 Del Monte, and 2621 Peckham st
I worked with Marty from Habitation in August of 2013 when I leased my current apartment on Indiana St. The apartment was filthy, and I naively thought it would be cleaned before I moved in. The kitchen drawers were cracked down the middle and the kitchen faucet was leaking . Marty took pictures and told me he would convey the message to the landlord before I moved in. None of that happened, and of course it was not cleaned before move-in day. There were dead cockroaches on the ground (at least they bombed the place!)
In the 6+ months I've lived here, the fridge, oven, faucet, heating/ac unit have ALL had to be replaced because they stopped functioning. Just this week, a leak from the upstairs bathroom required my neighbor's tub (and floor) to be replaced, and there is now a gaping hole in my ceiling that I was told they would fix "Monday or Tuesday". As usual, the landlord is not answering his phone. read more
