Let's start with the good: the apartments are laid out and appointed well, and the amenity space is huge with a variety of areas, uses, etc!
Now where things go off the rails:
1) 220 is a stellar place to live if you enjoy *NOT* having control over the temperature of your apartment. When one is paying thousands per month for a studio you should be able to have air conditioning and/or heating whenever you want, but this is NOT the case. Air conditioning is only turned on when 25% of the building has it activated. Also, due to construction, maintenance issues, etc. the building loses the central air conditioning *regularly* for weeks to months on end, even when there are the requesite number of thermostats turned to air conditioning. Our apartments have been 80+ degrees for long stretches of time with no resolution. As I wrote this, it was 74⁰ in my apartment in mid-December. These are not "isolated," "one-off," or "rare" events...it is a regularly recurring issue and they have shown no desire to address the cutoff. Additionally aggravating is the fact we have a $44 monthly charge in our leases specifically for "Chilled water for cooling".
2) Trash is a dilemma as the chute is regularly non-operational. This leads to residents piling malodorous trash outside the chute (also there is near constant presence of garbage in the hallways due to residents leaving trash for the concierge trash service outside their doors for days on end).
3) Parking, for which residents pay $150/month for a non-reserved spot, is less than optimal. First of all, the building happily promotes an "Indoor Heated Parking Garage". The parking garage rarely fluctuates more than several degrees from the outside temperature (including, as shown below, being far below freezing). In fact, the garage is open to the outside and has accumulated snow on the 3rd floor, as shown in the pictures. Secondly, while I do not own one, the building used to allow free charging for EVs but now has installed paid charging station. Concurrently they covered the previously accessible outlets in the garage to prevent people from plugging their cars in. Also, if you live in the upper half of the building there's only one floor of parking you can use without having to take two elevator trips or walking up/down a floor. Finally, the parking garage has become a smoking pit for residents, contractors, etc. Multiple announcements/emails seem to have done nothing to curb this.
4) Despite having three fully operational high rise elevators (out of five possible), only two are open to building residents as the third is walled off and solely for use by construction personnel. So, when one of the two others is down (as, again, has been the case for weeks to months previously) it leads to wild delays to access your floor. Residents have been stuck in the elevators necessitating an IFD response. Also, residents do NOT have free access to the freight elevator. Our keyfobs are locked out from use in the freight elevator. In fact, move-ins and move-outs have to be scheduled outside of regular business hours as construction personnel and operations have priority.
5) Building security is a HUGE issue. In the past when the garage doors would be broken they would hire/assign security staff to monitor to ensure the safety of everyone's vehicles. This does not happen anymore. Additionally, the loading dock door (which allows access to the entire first floor and all elevators and parking garage) is very, very often propped open by contractors.
Misc: You're obligated to pay for Wi-Fi in your lease ($80+/month) with no ability to opt-out...there are other near constant mechanical issues (leaks, etc.) thought the common spaces in the building...the rooftop space is poorly maintained and the outdoor furniture is growing mold...and I could go on.
