West Village Apartments

around the building. On that subject, its only fair that I mention that our walkway window was always open and we never had problems with security, even with our cars (terrible parking too btw!). The interior is all right at first glance. My apartment had new wood floors and the walls were adequate. The kitchen fixtures are old and don't function well. The faucet wasn't secured to the sink and the garbage disposal broke. The sink also clogs very frequently and the clogs affect the whole building. Nothing in the kitchen is sealed which gives roaches many places to hide and breed. When I moved in I spent the first two days cleaning every corner of the kitchen of roach carcasses. The kitchen light also stopped working. The bathroom was ok, but it's position behind the kitchen makes it prone to roach invasions. The cold water in the sink doesn't run, and the toilet requires you to hold the handle to flush fully. Bedrooms are large with good closet space but the windows don't sit properly in the walls. My window was OK, but my roommate's windows literally fell apart and was only held in place by the blinds. Heating in the apartment is interesting. Heat is provided by three electric heater located in both bedrooms and the living room. The ones in the rooms work well and as intended, but the one in the living room had no controls save a broken thermostat on the opposite wall. The interesting thing about that heater is that it never worked except for one weekend when we were away. Since it didn't work we stored a space mattress against it, but upon returning home that weekend we found our apartment had a strong peculiar smell. We pulled the mattress out to find it scorched deeply. We were extremely upset because of the risk the incident posed to the other tenants and our cat. Management is non-existent. If you can help it, don't rent here. The rent may be relatively cheaper here but after living there for two years I would try to convince anyone that it's not worth the price.

7. The laundry room is too dirty. and they don't clean it.

of swimmer's ear, since the advertised pool has been condemned by the health department since 2010!
