deal with it effectively. Items were discarded without proper sealing on the street and in the apartment garbage area. I know because I threw out many of them myself. I highly suspect that many other apartments in the building are compromised. The apartment has numerous other issues such as leaking sewage, rodents, pests, and impoverished tenants who create unsanitary conditions in the apartments and public spaces. Many of the newly "renovated" apartments are being rented at market prices to Columbia students and other potential renters, with no information about the problem. The landlord is almost impossible to deal with and will ignore requests for assistance as long as possible.
