Yo!

not great, not bad

Years at this apartment: 2004 - 2004

 
I lived there from 1998-2000. I didn't have many problems. HOWEVER, I went away for two months, during the winter. I lived on the third floor, and the "decorative" nonfunctional balcony outside my window flooded, because they didn't maintain the drain. It caused my apartment to flood. When I came back there was mold on the walls below the windows. Also, there was a leak in the wall behind the front door, that was moldy. I had been gone TWO MONTHS, and in that time, nobody cleaned the carpet or the mold. Imagine my surprise to come home to a fungus garden in my apartment. I took bleach to it and in the process got some on the carpet, but they didn't get mad about that. How could they' When I moved out I hired the maintenance crew to clean the apartment and help me move, and they did a great job. I had to sublet my apartment, as they wouldn't let me out of my lease early, and that was a pain. They wouldn't accept a check directly from the new tenant, so I had to send them a check each month, despite being in Australia. Overall, it was a decent place to live. The door staff was adamant nobody shall pass without clearance, which was nice, but they had my phone number wrong in their directory, so my guests were constantly turned away. I didn't figure this out til the last month I was there. Parking, another 100 bucks, was expensive, but worth it. I demanded my space be moved because my car got hit when it was in the spot near the construction at the time, and they complied.
