1325 West 27th St Apartments

have done more due diligence? Absolutely. Was it underhanded how this apartment was presented before we signed it? In my mind, absolutely. I can't walk into the kitchen without shimmying past the refrigerator which blocks the doorway. This apartment hasn't been updated in a long time and it is showing. The apartment clearly gets a new coat of paint after every resident, since the poor job they did sealed all windows shut (this was in the summer and there's no A/C mind you, we were told to use a screwdriver to open it), sealed several cabinets shut, sealed a doorway shut every time it was closed if it was warm out, and is peeling and bubbles up everywhere. The plumbing is a disaster as both sinks and the tub have had to be repaired in the first 9 months. The electrical outlets are few and far between, with almost no available outlets in the apartment, and none of them are three-prong so good luck using an extender. The bathroom has the ugliest blue fixtures and its radiator takes up a quarter of the floor space. The building has a new gang tag spray painted on it all the time. I could go on and on about how much stress and anger this building has cost me, but instead I think I'll just move out. 2/5 for everything above, although for positives I'll note that the location would be nice (if it wasn't for COVID shutting around it down), the price is great, and the maintenance team was always helpful. I just wish I didn't have to meet them as many times as I did.
