The first year living here was honestly pretty good, but over time the building conditions and management responsiveness have gotten noticeably worse.
The biggest issue is the roach problem. No matter how clean you keep your apartment, they eventually come back. Pest control notices are often sent out with barely any warning, sometimes the day before, while expecting tenants to completely empty cabinets and move furniture away from walls or risk lease violation fines. Many residents work full-time, and more notice should be given.
The laundry situation is also terrible. For a building with around 150 residents, there are usually only a few working washers and dryers at any given time. The machines frequently break during cycles, leaving clothes soaking wet, and tenants still lose the money they paid for the wash. Dryers often don’t fully dry clothes either, forcing people to pay multiple times just to finish laundry. Management has been made aware of these issues repeatedly, but little changes.
The building advertises a newly renovated event space as an amenity, but the hours are inconvenient for most working residents, and reserving the space costs around $1600. It feels more like a marketing feature used to justify rent increases than a practical amenity for tenants.
The elevator situation is another ongoing issue. One of the two elevators is almost always broken. While this may only be an inconvenience for some residents, it creates a serious accessibility problem for people with mobility limitations.
The rent is also difficult to justify given the condition of the building and the small unit sizes. The lease advertises included gas utilities, but nearly everything in the apartment, including the heat, is electric. Water is not included either, and the building divides total water usage among all tenants, meaning you can end up paying for other residents’ usage.
The property grounds themselves are nice, but the building maintenance and overall tenant experience do not match the rent being charged.
Management needs to take these concerns more seriously. Residents are increasingly frustrated, and many feel these issues have gone unresolved for far too long.
