Upon arriving, we tried to enter through the backdoor but it would not unlock as the deadbolt does not clear the strike-plate. I contacted the managers but no resolution. Used key in lock box to get in. Major inconvenience with only 1 key. The front door has a deadbolt that requires a key from the outside AND INSIDE. WA State building codes do not allow deadbolts on exterior doors that require a key to open from the inside. These types of locks, also known as double-cylinder deadbolts, are specifically prohibited in WA State. Definitely a hazard if there was a fire or emergency! Immediately noticed a terrible smell – a mix of humidity, mildew, mold, sewer and animal - place has mold issues which is contributing to the smell. I saw someone living below- not mentioned in the ad. This property was not clean. Microwave, oven, vent, coffee cups were dirty. Window sills were dirty/moldy. Top balcony rotting and looked structurally unsound making lower balcony unsafe to use. Decaying baseboards and ants in lower bathroom. Outside back door bottom step missing. No bathroom sink stopper, toilet seat loose. Comfortable beds and linens appeared clean. No smoke detector on main floor, curtains don't fit window, trash can hinge is tearing hole in drywall. We have many pictures.
