Garbage

This place is disgusting. The management is more than rude, and completely incompetent. While viewing the apartment they will show you what it could look like, but they will not show you your actual apartment until all the papers are signed. They will promise up and down that all repairs and cleaning will be up to your standards before you move in and on moving day you will get more than one nasty surprise. There will be left over hair and dirt from the last tenants in every corner of the apartment, live cockroaches, bed bugs and half the work that was promised to be done before moving in will not be finished. After YOU deal with the bugs and the clean up job, you can put in a request for repairs and it will take weeks for it to happen and whatever needs replacing will be done with less broken parts. Unless you do the repairs yourself, nothing will get done properly. Visitors parking is limited and your guests are expected to pay for parking if they can even find a space. The underground parking is not safe and people who do not pay for parking will park in your space if given the chance. There are also rusty leaky pipes that are leaking onto cars and there is no sign of this being repaired in the future. Even if you don't smoke marijuana your apartment will always smell like you do because people off the street will use the stairwells as a hang out spot...so much for security. If you like to sleep, leave that at the door because false fire alarms are a constant problem and the walls are paper thin so you will hear everything your neighbors are doing at all times, which means they know what your doing at all times, so privacy...not so much. There are 4 elevators in this building. At any given time there are at least 2 broken at all times, and you will be waiting for 15-30 minutes for one to reach your floor, only to be full of people. With 27 floors in this building, this is a huge inconvenience. It doesn't matter to anyone else in the building if your carrying 50lbs of groceries, they will shove you out of the way to get on the elevator because they've probably been waiting just as long. The laundry room is absolutely disgusting, and half the washers and dryers do not work, but you will not be refunded if you start the machine to find out you just paid for it to spin your clothes with no water for half an hour. Not to mention to do one load washing and drying, it will cost you between $5-$7.00. In the winter they put up notices saying they will not be shovelling or salting any of the pathways so you can either walk through the snow (and a mine field of dog poop) or walk around the entire building complex. Your window sills will be covered in black mold and falling apart, and there are horrible drafts so its always cold in the apartments unless you have a space heater. They also make you pay an extra $125 to install your own air conditioner in the summer and if you don't you will regret it. I'm sad to say this is the short list of reasons you should not live here. If you are looking for apartments, avoid this company like the plague. You will regret it if you don't.
