Feeling scared and unsafe

I moved to the Pierre in 2021. For the past few months I've been harrassed and stalked by a tenant in another floor. I had to call the police due to a threatening letter ( they took the threat seriously) suggested I get a Ringā€¦Ā See More >

    Been here for about a year and a half. Aside from expense,, the hallway smelling like garbage occasionally, and the thin walls, this place is overall an okay place to stay temporarily. Staff is friendly and helpful. Neighbors are nice. Noise is a problem, wallsā€¦Ā See More >

        First year was great. Second year, not so much. Apartments are huge! Average 1 bedroom is over 1,000 sq ft! Rent however is expensive and parking is NOT included and goes up each year along with the rent. Maintenance is horrible, not professional and alwaysā€¦Ā See More >

              It is sooooo expensive and just goes up each year! I have a one bedroom, which is nice, but with an $80 a month outside parking spot I pay $1750 and if I renew my lease in February it will be $1790. They don tā€¦Ā See More >

                barely acceptable

                We have lived here for several years; the apartment itself is nice, and a very good size. However, the management is entirely unresponsive and rude; the air conditioning is inadequate and complaining gets you nowhere. The building is run for the convenience of the employeesā€¦Ā See More >

                    The actual units are upgraded and "appear" nice. However, the air conditionig that is supposedly "included in the rent" is complete unacceptable. First of all, it took 2 weeks of complaining to both maintenance and Hekemian Property management before they came and checkedā€¦Ā See More >
