I've lived in 2 of those buildings and have known people that lived in the other 2 buildings.
IMHO, people should avoid living there!
The pipes don't work properly, therefore, closest you live to the ground floor, the worst problems you'll get! When someone living above you empty their kitchen sink, the water comes straight to your sink! And let me tell you, it doesn't matter if you have a kitchen sink stopper! The pressure is so great that the kitchen sink stopper pops up and your upstairs neighbor's dirty kitchen sink water comes right into your sink!
This building has so many bugs it's ridiculous! And I don't mean cockroaches, because, so far I have never seen one here. I mean all sorts of other bugs, like ants, humidity bugs, earwigs, etc... The building also has holes in its structure (from the outside in, bugs of all sorts enter your apartment, and little animals try to enter too... Get a cat if you can!
We've had 2 floods in our apartment in less than a year! One caused by our upstairs neighbor who forgot to close the faucet. And another one caused by the fact that the pipes where clogged at a lower level than our apartment. So what happened is that ALL the water, from ALL our upstairs neighbors, couldn't drain normally (since the pipes were totally blocked) and therefore it came in through our kitchen sink! The water was so black and in such quantity that it almost flooded the entire apartment with at least 2 inches high!!! The only luck we had with this ordeal is that the floors are not leveled so it helped prevent the water from going into the bedrooms and bathroom!
They told us that when the floors would be dry, they would come to fix them. They never did!

They didn't even clean the apartment before we came in! it was disgustingly dirty from the previous tenant and we had to clean and disinfect everything. It took 3 times longer to clean this place than to clean any other apartment we ever had in the past!
I'm not done with the pipes! The pipes in the bathroom are so clogged that it clogs up the bath tub and the bathroom sink! A plumber was call to unclog it. That was great! BUT it didn't last more than a few days and everything was clogged again!
In one of the apartments we lived in, our futon had scratched some of the tiny rectangles of wood on the floor. The building manager said that because of it they would have to re-do the entire floors (living room, dining room, and bedrooms because they're connected together) and wanted to charge us for the entire work!!! He thought that he could get us to pay for the apartment's floor renovation. We told him that with floors like those, he only needed to replace the few tiny rectangles that were scratch and that it was an easy task to do. There was no need to re-do the entire floors. When he saw that we knew how things work, he backed out! Talk about trying to screw over his tenants as much as possible! Where were they when it was time to fix the floors of our other apartment when it got flooded TWICE!!!???
