I a [am?] tenant happen to live in one which was not even mentioned and is really a slum building and we have had fired from defective wiring which you should see plaster falling off the wall in Hallways. Garbage never empty but maybe once a week than we have to pay as much as $110 month plus lights and gas. This building at 3900 W.
