First of all, the parking here is terrible if you have more than one vehicle. While over half the parking lot is consistently empty, they refuse to issue additional permits. Furthermore, if you have guests and try to park in guest parking, they are now issueing only 6-8 guest permits per day. There are 12-14 spaces. Also, they recently changed the policy on guest parking from a midnight of the next day expiration to 9am - without any notification besides the small print on the permit. Of course, at 9:15am, the tow truck is out there. It must be someone's brother.
Now on to the elevators. Prior to this summer, they were just broken half the time. Those were the days. For over 4 months, the freight elevator (the only one that reaches the basement where the laundry room is) has been "under construction". This means elderly people are somehow carrying their laundry all the way down to the basement unassisted, and new tenants have to find some creative way of getting their furniture up on the normal, unbelievably small elevators. This construction was supposed to take 8 weeks.
And don't even think about reporting a problem, because it will not receive any attention whatsoever. Perhaps someone at the front desk will write your apartment number down on a piece of scrap paper, and probably toss it right in the garbage as soon as you leave.
The tenants here are more than a little shady. In addition to the random garbage left in stairwells and fairly regular fire alarm pullings at 3am as a prank, there is the occasional 4am pounding on your door by some idiot who got bored pulling the fire alarm.
I wouldn't suggest having a package delivered either, as the slips somehow always seem to fall off the front of the mailboxes. Even if you have documentation that your package has been delivered, the people at the front desk are either too lazy or illiterate to recognize your name on the package. This is a consistent problem.
The laundry room is gross, and there are only 12 washers and dryers for a seven-story apartment building. It has been known to flood spontaneously.
A third of the outlets in our apartment don't work.
While there is 'limited access', the front desk lets in whomever wants to get in without asking whom they are visiting.
