the property above the don coqui restaurant is TERRIBLE!
a few weeks ago, someone was stabbed on the sidewalk (and was armed with a gun-according to the news)!! i watched a man choke a woman in the street, after stumbling out of the club- while all of the bouncers and other men just watched and did NOTHING! the noise from the club is so loud that it keeps us awake until 4am wed-saturday. last night someone from the club was loitering in between our entry doors and threw up EVERYWHERE! calls to the super as well as the club have done NOTHING to get it clean (24 hours later). today, a valet from the club was doing his personal laundry in our laundry room.
there are regularly highly intoxicated people loitering in between our entry doors- to have a quieter place to make a call or get out of the weather.
there is ALWAYS trash and broken glass everywhere.
there have been several really crazy (young) valet guys doing dangerous stuff with the cars (speeding, blowing through red lights, i saw one LITERALLY barely miss hitting a stroller in the crosswalk while speeding through a red light.)
recently, they've also opened a ""pain clinic"" on the second floor of our building, so during the day, we have a parade of drug seeking folks loitering outside.
the apartments themselves are pretty uncomfortable also. they have hot water heat, and it's always ridiculously hot- regardless of the season. there is pretty terrible ventilation. i constantly smell both cigarette and marijuana smoke inside my place coming from the neighbors place. my bathroom has a distinct smell of mold. the tap water here is also undrinkable. i'm not sure what is up with the pipes. i have an electrical problem in my apartment (that has yet to be addressed, even though i reported it months ago). i have to replace lightbulbs every few days.
it's all really unpleasant. i am counting down the days until my lease is over.
