As we know, nothing perfect in the world. This statement is true can be applied to our housing. In the apartment there is always a flaw or an irritant, whether it is noisy neighbours, a leaking roof or cold walls. However, in every house there are places where life is given a particularly complex and problematic.
1
Under the roof of the house
Of course, in a new building, every person has the right to expect dryness and comfort, but with time in such housing inevitably arises the problem of a leaking roof. In rare cases, fails to remedy the defect quickly and efficiently, but more often residents of this apartment have months to deal with this inconvenience.
The necessity of performance of repair work on the roof of the building and inside the housing is almost guaranteed. A separate problem is if you is a swimming pool. Then the possibility of flooding of gaining really dangerous probability percentage.

Next to the Elevator shaft
Many believe that living in the vicinity of the Elevator is convenient and practical. That’s just staying in this apartment, as a rule, it is found that the noise and vibration from its operation — an unbearable thing. At night be prepared to hear, as she comes home tipsy neighbor, and at 5 am, an elderly lady goes to walk his dog. The reason it all you will hear is simple: in the quiet time of the day every little noise sounds clearly, and the Elevator behind the wall will resemble the movement of the paver.

About garbage
Another place, near which it is better not to dwell. The first reason is similar to the previous paragraph because people, whose wall is attached trash chute, regularly complain of extraneous noise. Of course, they arise in the moment when someone throws it waste. Agree to think about it every time you hear behind the wall a distinctive sound — not the most pleasant experience.
On the other hand, with time from the chute begins to assume a specific «flavor», and from home, the person will inhale this smell.

The first floor
Often apartments on the ground floor are sold at attractive prices. Besides, someone might think that the location of housing is quite convenient: no need to overcome several floors up and do the same path back. That’s only in most homes in such apartments can hear the noise from the street, even if they have good soundproofing. And, of course, nobody canceled the vibration from a passing transport and walks suspicious persons under your Windows.
In addition to this, it was on the first floor will be particularly acute odors, and in the case of the flooding of the basement is above it the apartment will get the most.

Windows in a court yard
Here the situation is controversial. It often happens that the yard is a true oasis of peace and quiet. However, this is only the case if the territory does not use for its own purposes any Chinese café, a service which in all its glory appears in front of your Windows.
In this case, when viewing the apartment please note the adjacent building, with whom you will share the yard, and if no problems are found, we can safely move in.

Next to the technical room
Given the diversity of the design of apartment buildings in the United States, this room can be located anywhere: in the basement, on the roof or somewhere on the middle floors. In the tech room often is equipment such as boilers, industrial air conditioners, pumps and more. All this — the high risk area.
Plus, this equipment can cause a lot of noise, especially if it is not new and has already been subjected to repeated repairs. Vibration from operation add to the list of problems.

Close stair opening
Remember the housing situation near the Elevator shaft? There is not so dramatic, but, nevertheless, there is a high probability that the loud steps running down the stairs children you will hear as if they frolic at your home. Especially this sin of the old building with wooden staircases. Their squeaking becomes annoying problem, which is practically impossible to handle.
Needless to say, that all of the above places in each apartment building are different from each other. The main thing is to remind real estate professionals: it is necessary to check all possible factors of discomfort, so you do not have to regret your choice.
