Ballard Brick Apartments

Everything in the apartment is cheaply, poorly installed and falls apart. The owner then charges you to replace things by buying luxury versions of the cheap things on your dime. The laminate floors are installed over an uneven surface so it looks like a river all throughout the unit with large dents where it was installed over craters. The owner will not respond to complaints of domestic violence at 1am above you where the tenant is slamming doors, punching his girlfriend in the head, and… picking up and slamming furniture. The trash area smells like urine from all the homeless people and the internal hallways still have the original carpet from the 60s and smell. The owner will set-up a day and time to fix things and then every single time come up with an excuse why she had to come a day early while you were at work with no notice. We one time came home to a ladder in our kitchen without being contacted in advance for a non-emergency repair (this is illegal). I complained after our dishwasher that was probably ten years old had stayed on heating for 4 days straight and was constantly melting things but nothing was done about it. Your rent will also increase 10% every year so be prepared. Only one other unit was occupied by the same tenant for more than a year. The apartments turned over ever year. They are building multiple multi-unit apartments or studios with no parking surrounding this building so parking will be incredibly challenging as well. If you are comfortable with domestic violence, urine smells, your crown molding falling off the ceiling, a dishwasher that will melt things and burn you and the owner entering your unit 24 hours earlier than agreed upon this is the place for you!
