I lived at 6600 Main and moving out was one of the BEST decisions I made. Let’s start with management…. Stephanie, the current manager is a true living nightmare to deal with. Her emails consistently came off condescending and combative instead of helpful. After the previous manager, Beth, left, many of us thought things would improve. They didn’t… they got worse. Apparently, one of the qualifications to hold a management position at 6600 Main is having zero professionalism and absolutely no sense of ethics.
And let’s not forget dear Ynarvys who was, in my experience, incredibly rude and unprofessional. I strongly suggest that anyone currently living there keep ALL communication in writing. I received phone calls accusing me of things that were later denied. And of course, when conversations happen over the phone, you have no proof. Always keep a paper trail. Email only. Protect yourself.
For a building charging $3,000+ in rent, the level of professionalism did not match the price tag. There were times residents were waiting in the leasing office while staff was having cafecito and chitter chatting with bad words in Spanish inside Beth’s office. The property itself has declined so much over the years. Trash in common areas, people smoking in units and garages, security guards asleep in their cars. The enforcement felt selective and inconsistent. PLEASE - If you’re moving out, review every single charge carefully and respond within the required timeframe if you plan to dispute anything. Look up Florida landlord-tenant statutes. Many residents don’t realize they have legal protections. You have RIGHTS!! Miami Lakes is beautiful. The building had potential when it first opened. But management needs serious accountability and a major reset in how they treat residents.
I would not live here again.
