BluSerene

Resident 2003 - 2004

3/30/2007

I lived here for a year, between 2003 and 2004. When I moved in there were several issues with the apartment which were to be corrected by maintenance. In the year that I lived here, after making repeated work requests, none of the issues were ever corrected. Though someone did initially visit to take a look at the problems, they were never fixed. There were two different supers while I was there, but neither ever completed the work.<br><br>The apartment was spacious and and quiet, but the heating/cooling units were archaic, and the unit in one of the bedrooms (one of the items to be fixed), constantly blew cool air when set to "heat". Also, the hardwood floor was buckling and coming up (also never fixed). Also, the laundry room left a lot to be desired.<br><br>There was also a mouse problem in the building. Although we only caught one in our apartment, I heard that the problem on the ground and basement floor was much worse. They did however make attempts to correct the problem, with pest control, and by shutting down the trash chutes. I just didn't work.<br><br>Over all the, building felt, looked, and smelled old and dank, and it never felt "clean", though I will say that the hallways were always vacuumed. I never really felt comfortable.<br><br>I never heard anything about security issues, but I did not feel completely safe ... the stairwells were dark (and dirty), and parking in the back of the building was not well lit. <br><br>On the bright side, I will say that although I was afraid that the rental company would rip me off and try to charge me when I moved out for the multitude of things that were already wrong with the apartment, they actually returned my security deposit in full.<br><br>This place is livable in a pinch, but I please make this your last resort.
