Everything about living at YUGO was a nightmare. Pls read and save yourself headaches.
-move in day, there were people still living in our assigned unit.... mngmt had never told these people when to be out, just happened to forget. My roommates and I waited OUTSIDE in mid-august for 8hrs while cleaners and painters fixed a new unit (very poorly). Mngmt never offered us water or a cool place to sit while they fixed the mistake. They never offered us any monetary comp. for this. I had to fight
...tooth and nail just to get my roommates and I compensated $50 for 8hrs of time in the heat. Meanwhile, on move out day, you are charged $100/hr after move out time.
-At move in, my shower and sink drain were clogged with a disgusting wad of hair and gunk, so much that neither sink nor tub would drain properly.
-Throughout the year, the faucets ran brown water: mngmt said this was normal and to let the water run for a few minutes.
-Within first month, my roommates tub started to leak internally within the wall. The leak spilled into the kitchen below through drywall and the air vent, letting water pour into the kitchen.
-Mngmt put a dehumidifier on the first floor and left it in our kitchen long after it was needed.
-Mngmt had painters come paint over the water damage on the ceiling, getting paint spots all over the counter and floor that never came off.
-We had all but one light (laundry room light) broken for over a week. No kitchen light, no living room light, no oven light, no sink light. This was while the dehumidifier was downstairs.
-kitchen faucet was loose for months, it wouldn't stay in place, making one side of the sink useless.
-2/4 stove burners didn't work (no heat at all) for the entire year. Multiple maintenance requests and they were never properly fixed.
-Sink/garbage disposal leaked for an entire year, had to leave a bucket in the cabinet below the sink and empty it periodically.
-The front door had no seal. Daylight and air came through b/tw the door and the frame/ground. Cant imagine how much we paid on wasted heat/AC.
-Broken AC for multiple days during the fall
-After ~week, they put window AC units in the bdrms. Did a pisspoor job using tape to seal the cracks, and bugs were constantly coming in.
-tree fell on our patio and was left for months until moveout.
-Ceiling fan broken (no light or fan) for month. Maint. claimed it was fixed many times, they lied
-When new fan was installed, it had no lights. Only the fan, no bulb sockets.
