Warning for anybody looking for an apartment in SF
(got removed from r/sanfrancisco so posting here instead)
If you see a listing for 15 Leroy Place in Nob Hill, DO NOT RENT THERE.
I recently lived there with 4 other people (that was a situation in and of itself), but our neighbors were some of the worst kind of people to live next to, and the apartment itself is a liteeal garbage heap.
First of all, it’ll be advertised as a 5-bedroom. Its really a 2-3 bedroom with extra rooms, it very clearly used to be two units that were joined at some point hence 4 bathrooms (one of which doesn’t even have running water). Not to mention the sewage issue, like what do you mean we’re paying $8k a month for an apartment where every drain is at risk of clogging at any given moment?
Living above the apartment is a really mean family with two misbehaving kids who stay home and bang around all day. If you park a car in the alleyway for even a minute you’ll get the wife coming down banging on your door asking you to move your car for her husband’s precious Tesla. Expect random loud noises at any and all hours.
As if that isn’t enough, all of that noise usually sets off the mentally ill woman next door, who starts banging on the wall and just screaming. Very rarely she’ll come out and start harassing people but it has happened. Calling the cops on her does nothing, they’ll send out two guys to tell you to “just move”, and the management company is also useless.
I’m glad I got out of there, easily the worst place I’ve ever lived and I’ve lived on a friend’s couch in East Oakland before. Do better, SF.
