You can pretty much swing by Burke Park at any hour and let yourself in by way of the basement or back doors - they'll be propped open with beer bottles for your convenience. Just step right over the motley crew of drunken angry residents sleeping in the stairwells who've been locked out of their units by their unhappy girlfriends, and the hobos, and wander around the place to see for yourself the joys of 1111 Mass Ave NW. Be sure to take a deep breath to get the full effect of the aroma of rotten garbage, futile insecticide, and other biohazards. Do be mindful of the puddles of urine and booze in the elevator, and watch your back as you walk down the hallways. If you choose to make an appointment to talk to the building management, ask them about the little old lady who was mugged while unlocking her door, assaulted and robbed in the fall of 2004.

It would behoove you to keep on searching. The money you "save" by renting a unit in Burke Park will be spent in therapy, roach sprays and dining out because there's no way you can keep your kitchen sanitary enough to prepare food in this place. The roaches will plague you night and day, even with the lights on. Open a pizza box in the middle of the unit and watch them come charging down the walls at it on all sides. Shoot your own horror film while you're at it - you cannot beat the gross scenes available to you at The Burke!
