One resident, who did not want to be named, said police were often called to the flat because of drunken fighting, and strangers came in and out of the properties at all hours.
Another woman, who complained of flat windows being smashed by vandals and left unfixed for weeks, said the victim lived in the flat with his partner.
She said: "It's absolutely terrible. I've never experienced anything like it in all my life and I've been here for 28 years now."
