While the apartment building to first appearances comes off as an average apartment building, with good accommodations in the way of utilities, a stay in one of the apartments reveals otherwise. The construction is poor - the rooms (selective rooms sometimes, in otherwise environmentally comfortable apartments) can be damp and drafty, with poor insulation around the windows and electrical box. The bathrooms have poor ventilation, causing heavy condensation to collect on the ceiling and around vents. The lighting is variable - sometimes perfectly serviceable bulbs grow dim from time to time. The management and staff are questionable to the point that one would think they were living in a lunatic asylum. Though repairs are done without much delay, safety and security are poor. It is also a place that seems to have little respect for privacy - though the residents keep to themselves and respect each other's space to a fault, there is some question about the security system and other functions of the building throughout.
The building also seems to have strange and haphazard policies towards maintenance of its facilities. There are problems with the water and pipes on a regular basis, and the cost of electricity seems to fluctuate in a manner that seems almost personally driven.
Complaints and questions, if they are not to the liking of the occupant of the building office, are sometimes ignored or shyed away from. I have also noticed that there seems to be some delay in receiving mail in the mailbox on time, and it could be that the mailman who services the building fails to deliver the day's mail in a timely basis.
