this is the sister building to 801 E 6th with same owner and sam manager, I have been a resident for 4 years , My current situation , mould and leaking bathroom ceiling ask for repairs more than 5 times over 3 years . Under kitchen sink .mould the cold water is no longer functioning and the hot water is so hot it is dangerous ,I small child would scalded by such heat. missing drywall and constant water leak , This unti as painted by previous tenant ,when I rented I asked to have the unit returned to standard apt colours As I say it is more than 4 years no paint .

Lighting , requested main lights be repaired , using a bed lamp . This building has gone through 5 managers in 5 years , I have had a bug investation for 3-4 years , Plenty of bug sprayed used , yet they return in about 3 weeks , the carpets in this suit have mould , the age is about 20 years, Sewage smell is very strong as the outside drains back up wets under the carpet ,balcony leaks from the top making it usless ,
The manage allowed for 6months an dog owner who would let is dog piss of the deck and it ruined all my flower stuff about $800 worth ,

The manager found this no problem , I had the spca come to check on the dog , He came over did nothing , the city inspector came by did nothing


Tenants this place has had murders , guns drugs and police raids ever weekend .people who live here quickly become nasty living here,
The Vancouver Police inspector in this area said this is the worst building in his area ,That is backed up by the Vancouver Fire department who also claims this building has more call outs than any other building in his area .

Common areas the health ispector came it and demanded the first floor carpet be removed and treat like hazard material .

Many rude dog owners live in this building big dogs , suites with 3 or more dogs .The smell of the dogs have made the hallways smell putrid .
Not blaming the Dogs .
og shit can be found in all the hallways and as soon as you step out the building the front lawns are covered in dog shit even though the park is less than a half a block away .We used to have children play there.

Not now and if you dare bring it up with these dog people .You will recieve threats . swearing ,physical attacks ,not much point .I have a person who lets the dog shit in front of my deck , I asked nicely all I got was F###k Off , So in the warm weather all you can smell in my suite is dog shit , Ths is building has always has 20 suites open as the wise people bail out as fast as possible,

The walls and elevators stink so bad I use the stairs, If you went to the back of this building where there also was a common area. This is a sight , it is hard to outline here ,pure dump

The manager pretends to be very pleasant when you are a prospect . After you have moved in she becomes the a very nasty person .

She calls herself a bitch and she says she proud of it .So not much can be expected from her.education level I would say aprox. grd 7
People ask me why? I stay it has to do witj income levels my current income is (900) monthy

Here is a shocker I once managed this building , when it had two managers for each building a working crew of about 6 people .all of this has changed except the rent has gone up by $40

This is a bach apartment , first floor , aprox 500 square feet current rent is $640 plus hydro etc


It is in my lease that I am not able to speak about this management and if I caused them to loose and tenants or prospect according to the lease I could be evicted .so can only tell you my story and you can make up your own mind if this is the place for you and your family.
These suites rent for 800-900 for 1br and 1300 for 2bdrm ,these rents have changed from 4 yrs ago when the rate was 540 bach 720 bdrm and 840 2bdrm
You can see the service has been cut of to zero and the rents have increased and the place is truly a dump ,,Who put the slum in Landlord I think I know ,

It is intresting I did sign a lease although I am very good about my end of this agreement ,The managment seems to be oblivious to thier part of the agreement

Usually answering tenants concerns by either ignoring them , screaming at them ,laugh at you and tell you to take it to arbritation

Or thier very bestline is
THATS IS THE FIRST TIME WE HAVE EVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM Thanks for reading and best of luck finding a clean safe home with a Landlord and owner with some skills , passion , and functioning
