Water Damage at 52 Clark Street
Anyone here live at 52 Clark Street? I have been dealing with possibly the worse management company in the world! I live on the top floor, below the roof, and everytime it rains, it leaks in my apartment. This has been going on since August, and no amount of rent withheld, phone calls to Janoff, 311 complaints, and emails to the property manager have alleviated the situation. DO NOT live in this building. While my apartment was charming when I moved in with a beautiful view, the damage to my walls, ceilings, clothes, and the way Janoff has handled (or rather, NOT handled) the situation is ridiculous.

DO NOT MOVE INTO THIS BUILDING!!! I live on the 8th floor and have been living a nightmare since August. The roof is right above me, and so is a drain that apparently gets clogged everytime it rains. It has leaked in my apartment so many times I've lost count. The management company is a farce, and have done little to help the situation. I've had clothes damaged, rugs stained, bathmats discolored, books drenched. You name it. The management company has consistently told me the problem was fixed, only for me to wake up in the middle of the night during a heavy downpour and find puddles of water in my room and closet and a quarter inch of water in my bathroom.
You should see the state my walls are in; it's awful.

I live in 52 Clark as well, and everything about the building is miserable. Janoff does not return calls. When I finally spoke to someone about the fact that my apartment was not ready until 3 days after my lease started (gut reno'd), they REFUSED to credit me for those 3 days. My kitchen faucet has been broken for over 2 months now, and everytime I see the super, he says "oops forgot to order the parts again." The doorwomen (morning and evening) come late and leave early, the woman in the morning smokes cigarettes, the woman at night yells at her TV, neither ever holds a door open for you. I've got to say I cannot WAIT for my lease to be up in a few months.
