“Unit 13 Pros: The location is literally a few blocks away all Public transportation Cons: Rat infestation observed in the garbage area Interior common areas are consistently unclean No identifiable or responsive management to address complaints Heat and hot water are sporadic and unreliable Advice to landlord: It is strongly recommended that the property owner take immediate corrective action to address the current living conditions. This includes engaging licensed pest control services to eliminate the rat infestation in the garbage area, implementing a consistent cleaning and sanitation schedule for all interior common areas, and ensuring reliable access to heat and hot water in compliance with housing regulations. Additionally, the property owner should establish a clearly identified and responsive management contact to allow tenants to submit complaints and maintenance requests. Ongoing monitoring and routine inspections should be conducted to prevent recurrence of these issues and to ensure the property remains safe, clean, and habitable.”
