Rats in the apartments!!!
These apartments have rats that climb in and out of the walls of this building and then into the apartments.
Rats are a serious health hazard.
Additionally, the entire building has a sickening odor.

Elevator smells of urine and cockroaches
There is one elevator and it has to be used to get to every apartment; it has a strong smell of urine.
Every apartment has cockroaches.
