Jonquil Hotel

I use to live there in the early 80's. I can only imagine the difference between then and now. I agree with this whole panel. Roaches, mice, mold plagued the building back then and (if nothing has been done about it, and I'm not talking about masking the problem) even now. They would have to rebuild the building from ground up to get rid of the infestations. However, if they do that not one person there now would be able to afford living there. I also agree with it being a building of people that pretty much stuck together, and I mean EVERYONE! You can open up each door to every room and it would be like one big house that you can freely go in and out of. We all ate together and the kids played together like a big huge family. Those were surely the days. I'll be lying if I did not say everyone had their share of problems, but at the end WE WERE A FAMILY!

I paid the $50 for the application fee, called a few times receiving promises of return calls and answers (and they suggested I more than qualified), and a month after paying the application fee the communication line went cold. Looking online it appears they keep 3 units empty at all times to scam potential renters into forking over money for application fees, which probably adds up to more than they would get for renting the actual units. Like many religious and social service institutions, this one is another scam set out to take advantage of people, especially people live in the lower economic bracket.
