I'll start by saying DO NOT MOVE HERE. My partner and I moved in on Monday and we are planning on moving out this week. This place is unlivable.
The property manager gave the keys to my partner so he could take our cats inside while I signed paperwork. Unknowingly he walked into another apartment with our same apartment number and unlocked the door. Apparently every tenant has a master key.
When we first walked into our apartment we smelled a gas leak. Nobody in management or maintenance believed us or took it seriously so I called National Grid myself. They sent out a technician and sure enough there was a leak in our stove.
We noticed that every single door and window either can't be opened or is very hard to open and close. Including the window to the fire escape, which only opens about 3 inches.
The floor boards are so warped and have so many gaps. They also creak so loudly it can be heard from the hallway outside of the apartment.
We have no control over the heating. The radiators kick on at 55 degrees and they just turn off whenever. It's either way too hot or way too cold. Also they hiss, rattle, and clang constantly so we haven't been able to get any sleep in 3 days. All of the radiators are being propped up on boards and are lopsided.
The bathroom is very small and there are walls on either side of the toilet that are less than 2 ft apart. I barely have room to sit on the toilet and cannot comfortably wipe.
There are so many other things wrong like hot metal poles that will burn you if you bump into them, random gaps in the ceiling, walls, and floors, the whole building smelling like weed, and neighbors stealing packages. Please do not move here. read more
