Washington Park Apartments

since the place was built in 1960. Each time it snows they plow one time and one time only, 19 hours after the last snow has fallen so make sure you don’t have to work the next day. There are a few smokers in the building which isn’t a problem, the problem is the owner thinks a bucket of sand to put outside for butts looks bad so instead there is nothing and cig butts are everywhere. Laundry unit is listed as an amenity for the apartment building- doesn’t work. Trash comes every Friday morning and the minute they come the dumpster is already filled to the top so the trash is overflowing all week, piling up, and piling up. The main doors into the unit do not lock, so anyone can walk into the building. Now, the inside. First, there are cockroaches everywhere. Also, there was a past problem with some people having bed bugs. The walls are so thin that you can hear everything. The first night at the apartment I thought someone was breaking in to my place when really it was just my neighbor going into their own apartment. I hope you take quick showers because hot water will last about 5-10 minutes with very very light water pressure. Stains, burns, and fading cover the rugs inside. Electric bill will triple in cost because the building is so old. The drains get clogged up easily. Don’t bother trying to convince yourself that this place could be livable with a little bit of TLC- it won’t, look elsewhere.
