156 Fair street, Paterson NJ is the worst building in the world. The tenants are always fighting and loud. The quality of life is the worst I've ever experienced. The tenants are selling drugs in the building, and it smells like weed throughout the entire building. The walls are thin and have no sound barrier. You are constantly hearing the apartment next door all through your apartment. The apartment I rented, had a neighbor that was absolutely unbearable to live next to. They would come in late at night and their bedroom shared the same wall as my bedroom. The worst and most unthoughtful, lazy design of the living space. Every night at the same time 2 to 3 in the morning, he would come in, yelling, playing the video game, and screaming at the game at the top of his lungs. Playing music loud and talking on the phone loudly, until 6 or 7 in the morning, definitely until daybreak, Then they go to sleep and still keep you up because you hear the loud snoring coming through the thin cheap walls. You should expect to be woken up every night out of your sleep. You can't even use your bathroom in peace, because it shares the same wall with the neighbor's bathroom. You can actually hear them passing gas or worse. You hear your neighbors having sex because there is no privacy with the thin, cheap sheet rock. When it rains it leaks into the first-floor apartments from the foundation not being properly constructed. Now it's mildew or looks like some type of dangerous mold that you should not be breathing. The apartment is very costly to run the appliances. The washer and dryer, dishwasher, or any appliance, had my utility bill higher than I have ever seen before. The rent keeps going up at a ridiculous amount. I entered the lease in 2021 paying $2200, and $75 for my pet. In 2022 the rent went up $100 and $35 for the pet, to a total of $2435. So expect your rent to go even higher every year. The owner is the worst person in the world. All he cares about is money and doesn't fix anything. The building is surrounded by drug addicts. You walk out your door and you got to push the front door open because a drug addict it sitting there shooting up or sleeping. There are drug addicts hanging out in front of the building all times of day and night, shooting heroin and smoking crack right in front of your face. Even in front of your child. This is the worse location in the world. You will even find them hanging in the backyard, so you must be very mindful of that when taking out the trash. Never let your child take the trash out. The property management does not respond to your maintenance request. The kitchen sink leeks and no one fixed it. When we moved in, cabinets shelves were missing and they never resolved that the entire length of the lease. The smoke alarms are faulty. You can't turn on the oven or cook anything without the fire alarm going off. All the owner cares about is money and he is really the worse human in the world. They could care less about their tenants and what they are going through. I don't care how long you paid your rent on time and responsible, if you are late, they will start the eviction process. Even after a week of being late, you will get the letter, and they will post it on the front entrance door so that everyone in the building and outside of the building will see your personal information. I can't warn you enough about this building. STAY CLEAR! United Assets sets black own businesses back 100 years. I would have second thoughts about ever leasing from a black own business because of this owner and his sons. They are the definition of unprofessional, ineptitude, and just plain incompetency. Instead of the rating starting at 1-5, there should be a 0-5. They would most definitely get the 0.
