Resident 2009

3/27/2009

I have lived in Building 1 on the 10th floor for 3 years and To be honest. Its not that bad as people say it is. As far as the apt goes, The Bedroom and closet space is a nice size, I could easily fit a King size bed and still have room left over for other things, The Dining room/Living room is a decent size, its not big, but its not tight. As long as you know how to organize your space then your OK. Kitchen and Bathroom is small. Parking: I had a parking spot in the Car park. Parking is fine, but If you park in the Car Park, I suggest moving to an apt close to the Car Park. cause its a Far walk to due on a daily basis. Safety, I felt very safe on the grounds, Security Guards were walking the grounds on a regular basis. Yeah some of them were not the nicest, but Hey, i would rather have them be tough and not allow trouble through the gates than be soft. Cleanliness: The hallways and grounds are kept very clean, though Unfortunately you will see a roach/water bug or two. This is expected though in a large apartment building with Many people living here. I cant blame the grounds keeper, but I will place blame on the other tenants for not keeping their apartments clean. The Grounds are manicured on a regular basis. Construction: the Apartments are SOLID, I would be able to watch my movies with my Home Theather playing loud and not hear a single complaint. Fixtures are cheap. Major problems: Tenth Floor is super hot in the summer, add 10 to 20 degrees higher indoors than outdoors. The AC needs to be on for days that really do not require it. Visitors parking is expensive. Office staff is not accommodating, My access card accidentally broke 2 weeks before moving out. I could still use it to get my car out, but I couldnt get into the building I asked if I could have a temporary one since I was moving out in a few days and they said "we do not do temporary cards, If you need another one, You must pay the fee" (25 bucks if I recall)I told them I would have no problem paying 25 bucks for one if I was planning on renewing my lease, but I was not going to pay a fee to use an access card for a week. They told me I could call Security and they would assist me in. Security is horrible when it comes to situations like this. I once had to wait 30 minutes outside at night for a security guard to let me in. Luckily I found a way to get into the apt without using an access card. Final Result: I enjoyed living there from May 05 to May 08. The bus to Penn station is close and convenient. Yeah the I did have an issue at the end with the office staff, buts its just a small thing in relation to the time I had. the only major downfall is the location. Irvington is NOT a safe city to live in. You feel safe inside the gates at all hours, but Once you exit the gates you are smacked by the ------ in all its stereotypical glory. If your used to the ------ then your fine.
