First I would like to say that all the negative posts are true. All these positive posts have no substance to why this building is good ( just great to live in' whyyy''). Oh please, I have been treated better by my management company in a college apartment. I currently live in this building and the construction on my floor is terrible. The day the water was off all day (which i feel bad for the people who need to use it during the day) the floor was soaking wet including all the carpet and leaked to the stairs which I slipped on walking down because of this mistake. My walls are town up on the outside hallway and are covered by ply wood that is leaning against the wall. Regardless if you are new tenant for the new condos you are going to have to live in this piece of crap apartment until all hundred or more units are done, that won't be anytime soon. There are holes INSIDE my apartment in the ceiling and come home from work everyday with dry wall chunks that fell behind my cabinets all over my kitchen counter that I try to keep clean. I then asked the management company in the lobby to clean it up from now on if they will be in my aparment (which they said they wouldnt need to be). The new woman in charge had the nerve to mention that security deposit will be given back depending on the damage of the apartment, well it's the damage they are doing. The basement hallways look like worse than a college dorm and the security cards are becoming a joke. This building will topple over from being so old before all the units are completed. After reading this please ignore any short post about how good this is.. makes me sick.. I won't rent from Kass Management ever again, and I am passing the word on to several others.

I agree with the above poster. I've lived in this building since Sept 2005 and the first year was fantastic, great management, quick responses, etc. Ever since the building was sold to be converted into a condo, the new management has become apathetic or indifferent to the current tenants. BEWARE CONDO BUYERS! They're only fixing the building at the surface level! The orchids in the lobby aren't everything! Ask any of the current tenants and we'll let you know how we feel about the building. Just think about this one move that management did: redid one of the elevators knowing very well that it's going to get scratched up while the current tenants move out.

Could not agree more with both posts! I now come home every day to a layer of "soot" on my kitchen floor from the dust coming through my vent above the kitchen cabinets (which management put a piece of cardboard and some duct tape over to "fix the problem"). Then I go to take my trash out and see this is where the construction crews are now storing their tools and equipment, blocking my access to empty my trash! Kass Management and Krupik developers are complete jerks!!!! I have told every one I know and was thrilled to find this website that shows what frauds these people are! If you are looking at this building, look beyond the quick upgrades they have made. These construction crews are a joke! I will compare this building upgrade to going out with a really good looking girl and then finding out she gave you crabs! She looked great at first, but then you realize she was too good to be true and now you have a few miserable years to constantly be reminded of your mistake!

I agree with the people above. The notion of "a few disruptions and inconveniences" while the building is being converted is somewhat acceptable, but the manner which the management goes about expecting that less than 24 hours notice about these disruptions is ridiculous. Plus, I recently came back from work and noticed that my internet was not working, AT&T told me that it wasn't on their end it must be in my building, after confronting management a couple of times, they finally admitted that they knew one of the construction crew members accidentally cutting one of the lines (and never mentioned it). This is ridiculous. Also, the new website is totally bogus, a couple of the supposed "views" from the rooftop are impossible from where the building is located.

I'm in total agreement. Last night I got home from work at 8:30 p.m. (I'm in no rush to get back to this pit at the end of the day. Work is preferable!) only to find a notice that there would be no water today from 9-5. Essentially, I had about 12 hours notice of this. What if I needed to be home today? One day over the Christmas holidays, I had planned to stay home and bake cookies. No water that day, so in to work I go. They don't give you any time to make alternate plans. Being constantly on edge, not knowing if you will have water or electricity or if the noise will be unbearable is no way to live. You certainly can't plan to have guests over (I am sure any one I would invite over would think I am crazy to be staying here and tell me to hire an attorney if necessary and break my lease!) On occasion I have had to tell my boss that I am planning to work from home, but if I don't have water or electricity or the noise and dust are too heinous, I'll be coming in. Come on! I'm paying over $1200 a month for the privilege of living here! Can't they do better by their tenants than this? Last Thursday when I got home from work, I was surprised that the real estate agents weren't doing their daily open house. I was told that the electricity was off to all the apartments, but that management was working on it. Lucky for me I had picked up carryouts on the way home! The fact that the management does not tell the tenants what is going on and that they allow the contractors to leave the halls in such a shambles shows considerable disrespect to us. I think people would be much more accepting of what is going on if we were given some sort of timeline of when they were planning to work on which floors or apartments and how long we can expect to be inconvenienced. For all we must put up with, you'd think we'd get some concessions. They haven't even maintained any semblance of normalcy for the tenants. I feel like I'm living in a bombed out building in Beirut and that at any given moment, a sniper could come popping out of one of the vacant units. What I am really concerned about is that the real estate agent told me that they will be doing work on our units while we are still living in them. They need to get in to upgrade our electric and tear up one of our closets to put in laundry hook-ups. We will have to leave our units for 2 days when this happens. No problem, she says. They will be making a hotel suite in the building where we can stay when we are kicked out of our apartments. Uh, I don't think so!!! No way I'm crashing in a vacant unit.(I actually heard the same agent proudly telling a potential buyer that they would be relocating the current tenants so they could work on our units. God forbid our presence should impede the progress of the conversion!!!) And how much notice do you think they will give us when they plan to kick us out? All I can say is that if this comes to pass while I am still living here (unfortunately I have 5 months left on my lease), I'm staying at the Peninsula, and they can d**n well pay for it!!!
