I moved in to Cobbler Square June of 2001-March of 2003. I like many were taken in by the beautiful grounds and "cool"lofty apartments. I was so excited my first apartment was a big,unique floor plan abouve the upstairs patio and party deck.I was told before I moved in the noise was not a problem. Saturday and Sunday mornings filled my apartment with the sound of loud screaming,pounding and running of children upstairs on the party deck.In the summer parties were given upstairs,loud bands,yelling and all until midnight. The doorman was reluctant to do anything saying it was still before ten p.m,after ten he made a few attemps but it never got any quieter.The noise literally sounded as though it were in my apartment.All I could do was cry in disbeleif so I had no other choice to call the police. I later moved in to a small(still overpriced") studio. The noise from time to time was still bad. The parties given directley downstairs from me were heard so well thorugh the floors,I heard every conversation clearley and all the words to the songs. The neighbors upstairs could be heard very well too,stomping around,banging and dropping things at all hours.
I guess the most frustrating part was the doorman's attitude about the problem when called. They always had a very nonchalant attitude,like thats the way it goes! They would even tell me it's not the door man's job to deal with this and if it's bothering me to call the police.I did,after about 2:00am the doorman could be found sleeping at the desk.
Unfortunately towards the end of my stay there,the grounds were not kept up anymore,the waterfall was never turned on in the summer and was not fixed at least up until the time I left,the stone and brick in the court yard were all chipping away and it looked like a war zone.The managements response was "they were working on it." I did meet a few wonderful lifetime friends in the building,the lofts are pretty but once again,It's not all it's cracked up to be and if your at all like me and can get caight up in the "cool"lofts and appaerance of the place,I'm here to give you a the heads up!
