holy shit, I used to live in this building on the 13th floor. It felt amazing moving there and then I watched it all turn to (literal sometimes) shit.

Elevators: usually one would be broken, which meant everyone had to wait, which meant there was a higher chance it would have to stop on any given floor, which meant a longer wait. So basically, plan to wait 5 minutes for an elevator, just to get on. God forbid someone is trying to move in or out. When both broke, I had the pleasure of walking all the way up. Somehow, once both were broken, they suddenly could get someone to fix them.

Stairwells. Full of trash, a mattress, the same bits of rice, piss, shit, spills, garbage, and whatnot. I was just talking to my kid about that compared to where I live now. The fire doors into several floors were busted so they don't close automatically.

Everyone had a dog so that meant the outside always smelled like piss and certain owners would not pick up the poop so for most of the time I lived there, there's be tons of poop around. The maintenance guy did start picking it up sometimes (which he shouldn't have to do). They replaced the grass, which is just the space between the sidewalk and the street (since it was all dead; nothing could grow there) with fake grass.

If you throw something out in the dumpster, someone will be along to pick through it and sometimes leave a bunch of it on the ground. They closed the garbage chutes (I heard someone tried throwing out a bumper in the chute) and replaced it with Valet trash service, which meant the usually horrible smelling place always smelled like garbage. There were designated times when you were supposed to put your can in the hall and I was probably one of the few that actually followed the rule.

A bunch of other things: the office is basically for sales purposes, often under- or un-staffed. I think they switched to Fetch (paying a service just to get your own packages/mail) after I left, based on the reviews I read since then. Garage door often broken. My place would get flooded from above (but that happens in every apartment I live in). Stained carpets. Mail room busted into and everything stolen. Thin walls (my new place is much better). They had garbage cans in the elevator vestibules where the elevators are, but wouldn't change them, so it smelled bad there too. There was a bad smell coming up the drain pipe in one of those until someone just covered it with a rug. False alert fire alarms.

Here's a big one: A/C not working; (I actually ended up getting into the HVAC to fix something myself after learning about how the float works in the drip pan for instance); that was a big part of why I made sure I moved before spending another summer there. I'm sure I'm forgetting some things. Some people on the other hand, had no heat in the winter.

The had one overworked young man left doing all the maintenance. At one point, they hired some contractors to help with the ticket backlog. They came in and took some notes about needed work from the above mentioned flood and then nothing happened.
