5252 Corteen Place, aka Corteen Place Apartments is a complete slum, run by slumlord Linda Dorsey, who instead of doing her job and getting maintenance orders worked on and assisting with lockouts and such, insulted and bullied tenants by making eviction threats and never getting any needed work done. Example: In our apartment, there was an old sliding door that was very difficult to open and got stuck, which effectively was a dangerous trap in the event of a fire or earthquake. It took several months to get the door replaced. We (the tenants) had to call the repairman directly because Linda (who was the manager), although it was her job, refused to do so.
Also problems with heat, outside lighting not working (we had to replace the bulbs ourselves), plumbing issues, the list goes on and on. Linda did everything she could to make people NOT want to approach her when there was a problem. She simply did not want to do her job (but God forbid if you're a day late with the rent). She would complain that since the building is rent-controlled, that we were getting a bargain and that she "could get so much more money if we would just move out". Also important to note is the infestation of bugs and mice that were not dealt with, gas leaking from kitchen appliances, broken washers in the laundry room for months at a time, the list goes on and on and on.
