Looking For An Apartment, Don't Move Here! From: -Anonymous- Date posted: 7/3/2008 Years at this apartment: 2004 - 2007   I was not impressed with the office staff, maintenance staff, resident co-op board, security, or the management company. The rules were not equally enforced. They protected the residents that they liked and screwed with the ones they didn't like. They did nothing about parking problems. The resident co-op board has ALWAYS been occupied by their friends. The rules are made and changed to accommodate their wants and needs. Criminal activity is rampant and they do nothing about it. They have guards who drive around and only harrass the good people. I had heard stories that would make you wonder why these guards still work there!!! There was a sex offender living there and I asked the security guard about it and they said the office knew about but wouldn't do anything about it. These apartments are right across the street from an elementary school. Maintenance sucked. They were so lazy that they would leave a furnace filter inside my security door instead of entering the apartment and installing it! I heard that some of the maintenance guys had records and you would not want them in your apartment. You have to provide your own salt for snowy steps and sidewalks. There is no swimming pool or basketball court and the security guards mess with you if you sit in front of your own apartment or they say they are stopping you because you are suspicious if you sit in your car for too long. You better not back your car in either. That is a cardinal no-no! And to top it off, they DO NOT return your security deposit no matter what. I don't even think that is legal!!!
