In St. Petersburg, a stalwart of the 1917 revolution lives on: The communal apartment

Image
By Sabra Ayres August, 3, 2017 Ksenia Belayeva and Igor Zaitsev sit at their kitchen inside an apartment they are sharing in St. Petersburg, Russia. (Vasiliy Kolotilov / For The Times) By the time Marina Maslova was born in the six- room communal apartment at 65 Bolshoi Prospect, an entire generation had lived there and come of age since the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution. Maslova still lives in the room where she was born 61 years ago , and she remembers the dozens of families that have walked down its twisting, dark hallways and lived in its crowded rooms during her life. It was here that the guests at her wedding party in the 1970s moved the furniture aside to make room to dance in the 345-square-foot room she shared with her new husband, her parents and her grandmother. And it was here, in a small room just off the kitchen, where a 16-year-old boy hanged himself with his belt in the early 1960s after his parents, with whom he shared the cupboard-size space, disappeared. Both the...

Man reportedly rapes, beats woman as kids sleep nearby

LAKE WORTH — A neighbor watched as a barely clothed woman was dragged by her neck early Friday into a Lake Worth-area apartment. The woman was screaming, the neighbor told a 911 dispatcher, and the naked man with his arm around her neck kept beating her. Inside the home, Edwin Jairo Calle Jr . had raped, hit and demeaned the woman while her two kids slept nearby , Palm Beach County Sheriff ’s Office records indicate. See who’s been booked into the Palm Beach County Jail The 21-year-old Wellington man seemingly had no qualms about telling sheriff ’s authorities he’d climbed through the woman’s kitchen window because he wanted to have sex with her. He knew a judge had ordered that he stay away from the woman and her home — records redacted the location, but officers from PBSO’s Lake Worth district headquarters responded to the incident — for the next year. But he didn’t care, or so sheriff’s office records indicate. The woman detailed for detectives how she’d woken up at about 1 a....

10 Things You Must Do When Moving Out of Your Apartment

Image
Facebook Google Plus Twitter Pinterest LinkedIn Email When it’s time to move on from your apartment, it’s tempting to just throw your stuff in some boxes and go. But, not so fast. Remember when you initially signed your lease and paid your first and last month’s rent? That’s right….you also paid a hefty deposit. Want that money back? Of course, you do. Here’s how to reclaim that money to use for your next apartment—or as a down payment for your house: 1. Give Ample Notice Check your lease to know what’s required; on a month-to-month lease, it is typically 30 days, but make sure you give written notice at the correct time. 2. Check the Balance “Ensure that all rents and fees have been paid in full,” says Amy Groff, vice president of operations at apartment manager and developer Kittler Management. It’s not unusual for tenants to think they’ve paid their maintenance fees and realize they haven’t, for example. 3. Leave No Trace You don’t want to leave anything behind, whether it’s trash ...

Tenant, manager catch maintenance worker allegedly stealing on camera

OKLAHOMA CITY -- A tenant is looking for answers after he says a home surveillance camera caught a maintenance worker stealing from him while on the job. Kelvin Wilson has lived in Rosemont Apartments for nine months and until now, he says he's never had issues with the complex. "I [keep] pretty much to myself. I go to work, come home. I don’t really get to see the in’s and out’s of what goes on here," says Wilson. Last month, Wilson installed a camera inside his home for security purposes. This past week, a maintenance worker was sent to Wilson's apartment for a work order on his garbage disposal. The surveillance video allegedly captured the worker pouring pills out of a bottle prescribed to Wilson following a dental procedure and going into his bedroom multiple times , despite the work order primarily involving the kitchen. Aside from the pills, Wilson claims a number of other personal belongings are missing like an old cell phone and ring. He tells NewsChann...
