Historic Electric Building Apartments

Was here looking at an apartment for a friend. Nice place but the parking is a bit of a challenge. Great floor plans but some of the appliances and cabinets seem to be dated and worn.

This place should be CONDEMNED. I took a tour today and was absolutely APPALLED. Where to begin?? To start, the parking garage which looks like an underground sewage where the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles would reside is atrocious. Extremely tight, nasty and dark. It would be bad enough even if it was free but it’s not. $135 bucks a month to park. Next, the stairwell to the main floor looks like somewhere where drug addicts and homeless people would hangout. Not woman friendly to say the least. As far as the elevators, just read the past reviews. I felt sketch just taking them to do my tour. Now the apartment itself. It’s coming up on a 100 years old but why does it look like a thousand years old? The walls and windows had countless layers of paint on them with so many patches and “repairs” coming through there was not a straight, flat surface in sight. The whole place smelled like mold and was DIRTY beyond belief. You could not even see out of the windows and the blinds and floor were covered in dirt. The windows did open but had NO screens. This was on the 9th floor. Seems like that should be an issue. When I asked about the utilities I got a long story that by the end of it I had no clue how I would be charged or how much. I did hear the word “third party” several times which definately threw up some red flags. You can also hear about that in past reviews. Once we finished touring the apartment we headed back down to the offices when we encountered two people moving in that obviously indulged in the “party” life to be polite. Not folks I would want to be my neighbors for sure. All this is coming from a 41 year old single man so I cannot even imagine a woman or children feeling safe in this environment. Also looks as though they allow federal housing folks mixed in with paying tenants which does NOT mend well. I will say my guide Rory was nice and answered all my questions to the best of his ability. I don’t blame him. Overall this place was APPALLING at best. The city of Fort Worth should shut this place down IMMEDIATELY. It is beyond hazardous and there is no way that it meets all the building codes and standards. NO WAY. Move in at your own risk!
