I moved into a newly renovated apartment, to find half the cabinets not installed correctly, the dishwasher not installed correctly, and floors that did not stay in place. Regardless of how hot or cold it is, the buidling doesnt turn on air or heat, until way after the weather changes. So you either freeze or sweat to death. The smoke detectors are SUPER sensitive, and the bonus is....you have no control over it - so if you happen to set it off as many tenants have when merely cooking, the elevators will be down for 20 min, and you have to wait for the fire department to show up, come upstairs, then go back downstairs before the insanely loud beeping subsides. Not to mention, no one told me before signing the lease that there was section 8 housing in the building. I have not had any problems with this, but would have liked to have at least known. Parking was good until the management of the building took over it. Then they took out the booth that had a 24 hour attendant, and replaced it with a gate that is broken more than it works. You get all that for about $150...and you arent even gaurenteed an assigned spot, or one that will be located under the cover. Security in there is not good, as I believe there is only one camera. Several cars have been hit - yet management claims the span of their camera unable to see anything. Maintenance individuals are nice, however I have had to tell the office staff my issues several times before anything was fixed. All in all, its not worth the rent, or the parking fee to live there. I wont be renewing my lease.
