Run while you still can

Well, lets begin with the good things about the apartment:
1. space
2. low heating bill/ the place is so sealed up that I hardly ever turned my heat on
3. water included
4. low rent
5. friendly neighbors
The bad things:
1. parking if you live in the back there is none
2. the hidden cost of having a dishwasher (there's an additional cost they don't tell you about until you sigh the lease)
3. water that can freeze or burn you in the shower at any minute
4. the maintenance staff (1 person) that lurks in his car
5. if it snows or ice, don't expect them to shovel the side walks
6. the smoking in the building ( I never met people to lazy to walk outside)
7. the double plain window is really 2 windows (you have to open both just to get some air)
8. the cleaned apartment that I moved in (I ended up cleaning everything because there was dirt everywhere)
9. it took them over 2 weeks to fix the A/C (there would come and tell me that it was fixed and even when it wasn't
10. the closet door I asked to be fixed and they told me that they have to find the parts (still not fixed)
11. it took them over a week to fix the bathroom floor and they left it dirty
12. called themselves fixing the leak that I report when I first got there (still leaks)
13. tried to come in my house without knocking, I was at home that day (never rung the bell)
14. called themselves fixing the front door (can't lock the front door and there still a gap)
All in all, it was a good price for my money, but I'm glad that I'm leaving it was kind of creepy seeing the maintenance man just sitting in his car doing nothing.
Update: this place is unsafe! There was a shooting right outside my bedroom. I wasn't sure if what I heard late night where gun shots, until I looked out my window and saw them throwing some in the trunk of the car. What I pieced together, was that they where playing with the gun and it went off in the car. I went to my car in the morning to find blood on it and a trail of blood on the street where the car was. When I came home it was to see the that same car with the back window blown out and blood smeared on the trunk. I no longer feel safe and cannot recomend living here for that reason. No A/C 5 days and counting! They keep saying that they are "fixing" it yet it never gets fixed.
