Apartment Review for Metro North Riverview Apartments - New York, NY

From the graffiti and feces in the staircase to the shattered mercury lightbulbs this place screams Hoodlumville! We have now been introduced to electric/water meters as well as energy saver(mercury filled) lightbulbs in every apartment. After the new paint in the hallways came the bushes in the front of the building both which lead a dramatic increase in rent. The current tenants are being harassed out of their apartments so the apartments would be then sold for double the market price. What really stinks the most is that the current tenants watch the unoccupied apartments go under renovation for the new residents. What happened to the people that are already paying rent? Where's the upgrade??? So not only is it crappy to live in Hoodlumville but its even worse to continue to pay rent for an outdated apartment. The president of Hoodlumville community affairs decided she would sit this one out since shes nearly 100 years old. Who knows she's probably being paid under the table anyway. Hope you will take this review into consideration.
