Pompous, nit-picky "Peaches" (staff member) loves hassling residents with idiotic, frivolous rules that change daily. He also loves to make tenants' lives here miserable.

A stern, snoopy, unlikeable manager--who is unresponsive to basic Federal standards/regulations. Spews all this crap, and doesn't know what she's talking about

Shoddy construction--No sound insulation. YOU WILL HEAR EVERYTHING ABOVE AND BELOW YOU. Cheap materials used. particle Board shelves collapsed, breaking my dishes. Fake wood floors

(Staff members here have the coveted units; long-term tenants are lucky to get any service or work done to their dwelling)

Management Company is a greedy organization, who blocks all attempts at communication. Owners are being sued, and rightly so.

If you like overpriced dorm living, this is the place for you!!!!

Oh, they put a Guantanamo-bay prison yard-looking pet area. That was nice--while doing NOTHING for the tenants who put up with the pummeling outside noise of the 35W reconstruction, and the transmission of noise from within.

Worst place I have EVER lived. My college dorm was better than this place

Another memo: ALL CHRISTMAS TREES MUST BE ENTIRELY RAPPED IN PLASTIC, OR YOU WILL BE ASSESSED $50. The staff is so Holiday friendly!!

Although there is a snow policy, which stipulates EXACTLY when cars must be removed when snow level reaches a certain threshold, Last Winter I had the wonder experience of being "snowed in". Only when I caught the snow plowers was I told by the supervisor that he thought my car was a "pleasure vehicle" and threat I looked like I had enough money for a "pleasure vehicle". I assured him that car was one I used regularly, and that I pay to have the snow removed behind that spot. Grudgingly the snowplower said he'd remove it. And when he did I noticed a scratched rear bumper on my "pleasure vehicle." The manager disputes that the snowplow supervisor said, something I wonder about if she wasn't out there, and was not part of the conversation I had with the snow-plower. Frankly, that is the tactic of management: deny everything, ignore or reject it. If there's maintenance issue--delay. If one moves in and finds urine-soaked stick-on, fuzz-on-paper carpet, dispute that, as well, and say the carpet is worth $1200. And if there is some issue, it takes months and months of emails to achieve NOTHING. The management is not responsive--except when they can seek to embarrass a tenant for filing a complaint after months of deliberate non-action or for something that is THEIR fault (i.e., ice-covered SAA parking ramps, creating hazardous conditions). Certainly, this is not a place I feel welcome, and was coerced to sign an "intent to vacate"--which resulting in 5 "notices to show apt." when NO ONE came or called from the office to say that there would be no showing.

Yes, the carpet is flat and the wood is laminate, but didn't you see those things BEFORE you signed a lease?
