Great Place

I'm surprised to read such bad reviews. During the 5 or so years I lived here, I never had any problem that was big enough to trash my landlord and maintenance people. In fact, maintenance guys were extremely responsive.

One time, my toilet broke around 10pm and I called them to leave a message. Next morning at 7am, they were in my apartment fixing it.

Another time, my upstair neighbors weren't using a shower curtin and the water drained to my ceiling. The ceiling above the bath tub was caving our from the moisture. I called and they came on the same day to replace the whole ceiling in the bathroom. They even vacume cleaned afterwards.

My apartment was right above the dumpsters and I did have cochroach problem couple of times. Every spring, extreminators came to prevent any such problems, but it happend probably because of the location of my apartment. When I called, they immediately came in with professional exterminators and that was the end of the problem.

Every fall, maintenance guys make rounds to make sure that the heaters are working properly. I really never had major problems at all.

I have seen vomits on the street, but the building is two doors down from a bar. My apartment was facing the street, and I did hear noise from the street. But that never bothered me. Ceiling is high and walls are thick concrete, so I was never bothered by my neighbors either.

I really don't see why other people are complaing so much...

The biggest complaint that I have is the landlord lady (the realestate person). All the top floors were occupied by white people and all the lower levels were occupied by racial/ethnic minorities. I don't think it was a concidence. But once you get an apartment, you never have to deal with her. Like I said above, the maintenance guys were just fabulous and I looooved living there.
