I was young and broke, but...I lived here years ago. I was young and broke, but excited for my first "apartment". That excitement died pretty quickly. Besides the incredible amount of roaches ( they had careers) that made me feel as if this was the movie Joe's Apartment 2) I will now move on to the large and robust rats in the ceilings of the lobby. You could hear them squeaking and fighting over the poison placed in the ceiling. Of course they died. However, they died and stayed. Let's just say, during the Summer, nothing is quite like the smell of robust rotting rat carcasses to brighten your morning🤢. Let's see what else....the registered rapist/pedophile only two, very close, doors down from my cubicle with a window. Or the 3am wake ups to screaming and fighting, while said person tries every door knob to get in. Or when you leave out in the morning and notice blood on the door handle, and splattered across the walls. And the piece de resistance....the bed bugs. I do believe the origins of all bed bugs began here. I lived in this cesspool for 7 or 8 years. I called it "the China closet of Crazies". The bed bugs, at one point was so bad (apparently I am allergic) that I had them relocate me to a different unit...I was hopeful🙄 same and worse. By this point I eneded up staying with a friend if mine in her unit of the same building. Luckily, she was not yet touched by the bug that eats you alive while you sleep. I had nowhere else to go at the time....but this place should have been burned to ground when it was a Howard Johnson's. Glad to it is dead. I am sure they found housing for the remaining residents....hopefully.

I mean its been an eyesore in Wheaton for years...and the HOC could care less about informing the community of the plans. It's ridiculous.

We're talking about a multi-year process of transitioning people to new housing in order to empty out the building ahead of redevelopment.
