City Lofts Apartments

What a --------# From: -Anonymous- Date posted: 3/20/2002 Years at this apartment: 1998 - 2002   The elevator doesn't go to the second or third floors, the buzzer system at the main entrance to the building requires a key to come into the building (you used to be able to enter a code, but after the double homicide by the drug dealer that lived in the building, the incompetent management/owners decided that everyone should have to use a key). Don't ever park your car on the street. You will get broken into. Even cars in the garage get broken into, in spite of the fact that there is a security guard down there at night. The street in front of the building is very dark, and only under threat of a lawsuit did the owners put up lights to brighten the front of the building. The building has been repainted to look like a circus. Some idiot decided that they would paint the concrete floors in the courtyard with exterior paint. The paint bubbled up and peeled within 24 hours of the floor being painted. There is a "water feature" in the courtyard. This ugliness is a prime breeding ground for mosquitoes. It doesn't function properly (if at all), and sloshes water onto the pavement around it. It's location directly in front of the elevator means that is sprays anyone coming out of the elevator when it's on. The walls are paper thin. You can hear the footsteps of normal people walking by at a normal pace, and any amount of music in your home is enjoyed by at least three other homes around you. The garbage chute is inadequate for the amount of garbage produced in this building. It consistently overflows, and often takes two or three days to get cleaned up. The "gym" consists of a treadmill and exercise bike. The room has no bathroom facilities or ventilation, and is nothing more than a small office space. It really could be better used as something else. Recycling is a joke. There isn't an apartment version of curbside pickup, so you must haul your recycling down five flights of stairs to get rid of it. The garbage chute only goes to the first floor, so second and third floor units have to walk downstairs. The recycling isn't near the garbage, so there's two different destinations for your disposal needs.
