I've had a miserable experience at 175 Bluxome Street, and I believe I am in miserable company. What would it take to piss off an entire city block of residents'
1) Not having internet access for over a month while management picked their asses about finding someone capable of building a network.
2) Breaking the contract with the newer internet service provider, which offered nearly 100% uptime, round-the-clock in-house response, and 3MB connection speeds.
3) Making a contract with Verizon. Crap service, crap response time, crap speed...just a crap decision by egghead realestate owners. Oh, and Verizon won't let you run business servers in your live/work loft! Carmel RealEstate = Egghead Boobs!
4) Having a ridiculous elevator, which only takes you from the garage (which is so crammed, collisions are inevitable) to the first floor. Good luck moving your larger IKEA items to the second or third floor!
5) Speaking of the garage, how about the constant car break-ins' I guess urban-chic includes all the excitement of the ghetto. I wasn't given my complimentary crack pipe to fit in with the scene, but then i wasn't given gate keys either.
6) Speaking of ghetto-not-so-fabulous, there have been many times I haven't been able to get into the terrible garage to park my car, because after the hideous paint job City Lofts paid for (one of the few things they've spent cash on) the sensors were blocked, and my opener didn't work.
7) One other time I couldn't park in my space was not the fault of the property owners, but perhaps the management, who began renting to project-prone people, which lead to a double homocide right above my apartment. There were fire trucks and police cars the entire length of the building. There were body bags, and blood-soaked, naked drug dealers being taken from the building. All this for only $2500.00/month!
8) My guess is that they couldn't get cleaned up after the massacre because...THERE IS NO HOT WATER AT CERTAIN TIMES IN CITY LOFTS! Yes, as ridiculous as it is, for the incredible rents we pay, there is still no hot water if you would like to take a shower between 8:00-8:30 AM, Monday-Friday. It's a damn good thing that there is a high vacancy rate at City Lofts, because I imagine this hot water situation would be far worse if people actually wanted to stay here.
9) Did I mention the freakish colors the building was painted' Did I mention that the ear-piercing fire alarm sounded for about two hours one morning, driving everything carbon-based out to the sidewalk in front' I've never seen animals cave in on themselves like that before. Did I mention THERE IS NO GYM AT CITY LOFTS' Did I mention that the stairs, which you are required to take because the elevator is useless, are watered every morning at business rush hour, so you can slip on the ledges and break your neck' Did I mention the mountain of garbage downstairs'
10) City Lofts continues to make living difficult, and lets anger fester until people are driven to online complaints as a way of venting. This place is a ---- hole. don't give City Lofts and Carmel Real Estate your money. Put it in the bank, and live with your mom. Go sleep on a friend's couch, but just keep looking, and pass this place by.
