516 West Briar (Parliament Enterprises)

Filthy building, terrible maintenance, big apartment From: -Anonymous- Date posted: 11/21/2006 Years at this apartment: 2004 - 2006   I'm with another reviewer - the neighborhood keeps me here. That and I have a parking spot for $80/month. In this neighborhood that's a steal. The apartment itself is OK and pretty big for the rent, but the building itself is disgusting. There are lights out on the stairwells, and the first floor stairwell has had an empty cola bottle, and paint can, and a dirty shirt sitting in it for at least two months. The laundry room is always filthy. The trash chute has something spilled on the outside and it's been there for months. The door to the trash chute has a fire extinguisher sign on the outside, but the fire extinguisher is kept in a locked room. The only way I get maintenance requests taken care of is to threaten to withhold rent based on the tenant's ordinance. I will be contacting the Metropolitan Tenants Organization about this building.
