A Lot Of Money To Pay For An Old Building With Bug

I am very much looking forward to moving out of here. Literally, the only thing you pay for is a view - if you're lucky enough to have an east-facing apartment. Otherwise, I can't understand why anyone would stay here. I'm waiting for the new apartments across the street to open. 420 E. Ohio has the most rude office staff. Brook was previously the property manager and she made it a really friendly environment to live. Now that she's gone, I don't even know who the new guy is...J.R. or something. Have never seen him. He lets his assistant, Lauren, take charge and everyone - tenants and staff do everything to avoid her. Unfortunately, she lives in the building. When you see her, it's like seeing the mean principal of your grade school....everyone runs! Yet, we pay her salary! The building itself is very dated and run down. The laundry room, if you are lucky, has about half the washers/dryers working. Oh, but there are no signs on the broken machines so you end up losing money until you find ones(s) that work. The elevators are painful. For some reason, Lauren doesn't know how to reserve properly when people move in/out so many times the entire building of 40 floors has ONE elevator working. It's not unusual that I have had to wait 10-15 minutes to squeeze onto one that wasn't full. My heat only worked about 40% of the time last winter. So, if the engineers couldn't get it working, I slept with multi-layers of quilts. I have bugs in my kitchen and others I've talked to have them, too. They aren't roaches or ants but little black bugs that come and go with the season. Disgusting nonetheless. Someone I know turned in his sheet for a storage locker but they threw his stuff out anyway becuse of poor record keeping when they were doing their "audit." The office center is such a joke. OMG, the computers are always down. They had 1 when I moved in and I think they have 2 now but it's a crap shot that they work. I just went and got a computer for the rare occasion I'd like to check emails. Anyway, my point is, there's a ton of clean-up, updating, cleaning house of awful staff that needs to be done in order to keep people here - especially with all the deals on new places all over the neighborhood.
