Some people just can't keep a place clean
Every 2 years, the city inspects every single unit in every single apartment community in its borders. Our apartments were done this week and the inspector couldn't stop talking about what good shape our apartments were in, especially the apartments that were ready for people to move into. [Apparently it's not the norm to offer people clean apartments?]With the exception of 5-6 apartments, everything passed inspections. Among those that didn't pass were
-one showerhead that was against code
-one was so full of stuff where there wasn't a wide enough path to walk through (need 36 inches),
-and two or three that were dirty: one from uncleaned cat poop/vomit.
The most surprising one, however, was someone who was a recent move in. Yes, somehow in the space of 25 days, one person lived in a manner so foul and disgusting that the city housing commission deemed it unsanitary after less than a month of occupancy (lowlights: multiple cat food dishes on the floor, not-quite-empty food containers up and downstairs, and fish skin on the floor left for cats to eat).
It takes a special kind of sloth to get two notices that apartment inspections are coming and respond by saying "meh" and displaying your barn-scented home to city officials.
