Don Hee Apartments

This apartment has a great view, is fairly spacious, and comes with a LARGE cockroach infestation. My wife and I moved in here assuming that the entire place had been cleaned as we had seen the carpets were shampooed. Turns out, the kitchen wasn’t touched, probably because he was afraid that it would spread the cockroaches even further in the apartment.
It started off with one or two, then we moved the fridge and saw the gross stuff underneath that you see in the attached image. We texted him and he came with a can of raid and *2* cockroach hotels. Great effort and «solution» there. Idiot. Next, after I had sprayed and killed at least 30 in the 2^nd day of us living there, he comes and ads 1 – 2 more hotels. Yeah, those are certainly going to do it. Lastly, we started seeing them crawl up the walls in the living room, no longer in the kitchen, and you can see his text message conversation with me in the above album when I asked for an exterminator. In the end, I killed a bare minimum of 50 cockroaches, but probably closer to 100. These things are in the walls and are in the entire building.
What a great person this Danny Yu (the landlord) is. This guy has always been in gym shorts, flip flops, and a t shirt when I see him, with his pubic hair beard, all 3 times I met him. When I’ve met up with him he has had very blood shot eyes (take from this what you will) and doesn’t seem to know what he’s talking about as he shows very circular logic and a complete and utter disregard for anyone or anything other than himself. When he first moved us in he said «one of the burners doesn’t work on this stove and I would have to replace the whole thing at this point. That’s expensive. If another breaks, maybe I’ll do it, but for now, just try with 3.» On top of that, the oven and stove were disgusting too, not even touched with a drop of soap before we moved in and covered in grease, dirt, grime, etc. The stove was encrusted and every burner needed to be replaced. Also, the outlets didn’t look safe and worked intermittently. The bathroom sink hot water knob didn’t work and his response was «I’ll get someone in within a week.» Never happened. When I spoke to him in person regarding the roaches he said, no joke, «I live in a million dollar home, and I have roaches every once and awhile.» Wow. He is terrible at getting back to you quickly, and he never really answered his phone, preferring to text, including after he told me to «Vacate in 48 hours» when I asked for the roaches to be removed (which btw, is totally illegal as per RCW.59.240, RCW 59.18.250)
The address is 410 8^th Ave S #10. But I talked to a couple of the tenants and they have roach problems too now. This entire building should be condemned until the roaches are taken care of, but the landlord, Danny Yu, is a terrible person and won’t do anything about it. Don’t believe me? Check out our text conversation in the album. I didn’t edit a word. I certainly didn’t give him an «ultimatum», I just asked that our place not be crawling with roaches.
I posted this on craigslist too in an attempt to help anyone who is interested in this place because the windows are huge, the place is huge, and the views are gorgeous, but be prepared to have cockroaches crawling all over you and your stuff the entire time you live there.
To make it easier for people to search for him and avoid this place, his two numbers he contacted me at were 415 662‑3598 and 206−294−9841
