I've lived in many apartments in my time, and many a shoddy houses. Despite the first-glance cleanliness, the apartments are of bad quality and bad workmanship. Undermanned maintenance is often seen standing around talking on cell phones and twiddling their thumbs while I wait 4 months for a working lock to be installed in my door which took 15 minutes once they actually arrived. Elevators are rarely functioning normally, and the management won't pay for weekend elevator service rates if they happen to break over the weekend (according to elevator repairman). Weekend doorman is very curt and gruff, harassing visitors and oftentimes sleeping on the job. Management staff, especially the older lady cannot be trusted. Management staff says one thing and does another. In one case, insisted that something was my own and another resident's mistake, until we both ran into each other and confronted the office staff. Then, of course it was another office staffer's fault. At lease signing, I was promised a certain time allotment for use of the freight elevator. Upon moving into my apartment, only one of three elevators were working for six (6) straight days. That's for over 475 residents on 26 floors. You do the math. Other families were ALSO moving in on that day. I later found out that the elevators were broken because residents were trapped in there for hours and the fire department had to bust them out. Appliances have paint overspray all over them, bed and bath doors don't shut properly from too many paint layers, dustballs, insects, and COUPONS were painted-over in the kitchen cupboards. Parking lot is extremely unsafe for cars, both from overcrowding and vandals/thieves. Finally, for the past 10 months, wastewater from a second-floor apartment leaks down into the fitness room onto the treadmills, which by the way, rarely work correctly. I cannot wait to find another apartment and I am thinking of breaking my lease. $200 penalty for lease-breaking is a highly-rehearsed explanation in the leasing office. It's a small price to pay to get out of this pit.
