Commonwealth Senior Apartments

Is it true the windows are all sealed up in this place .. u cannot open windows... Like a prison???!!! Fire hazard?????

Why is every window throughout all of the apartments and non living areas sealed shut?!?! Never knew a living environment could pass code for that?! Oh wait... it CAN'T: A multi-level apartment building generally cannot legally rent units with windows sealed shut, as most building codes require windows to be operable for ventilation and emergency egress, meaning they must be able to open and close properly; renting units with sealed windows would likely be considered a violation of habitability standards. Key points to consider: Safety concerns: Operable windows are crucial for emergency escape in case of a fire. Ventilation needs: Windows need to open to provide adequate air circulation within a living space. Legal implications: Most jurisdictions have laws that mandate landlords maintain habitable living conditions, which includes functional windows. What to do if you encounter a rental with sealed windows: Check local regulations: Research your area's building codes to understand specific requirements regarding windows. Contact the landlord: Ask about the reason for sealed windows and whether they can be opened or repaired. Consult a lawyer: If the landlord refuses to address the issue or if you suspect a violation of habitability standards, consider seeking legal advice. Knowledge is power; POWER UP!

I've been here 1-1/2 years. I love my studio apt! I feel safe, enjoy the friendship of many fellow residents, bingo is always fun (prizes are great), boxes of food are brought to the lobby regularly (it's almost like a tiny grocery store), and Colleen, the mgr., is really nice (& fair). Patio life is nice in the summer & a great social environment. I don't plan on going anywhere soon!
