A List of Grievances
Perhaps the antithesis of the koi pond apartment is a building that has absolutely everything going wrong for it. Sometimes, the wonderful allure of New York City isn’t worth its living accommodations. Or, as this person had the misfortune of experiencing, a lack thereof. Of course, we’re walking about the mice and roaches, the rude neighbors, and the dirty streets.
We think this person just hit BINGO for all of the bad qualities of an apartment. The only thing missing from this list of grievances is the sewage floors. This person learned to always treat NYC apartments with strict scrutiny. You never know what horrible condition the owners leave the building in, so be prepared for the worst.
