We just renewed our lease primarily to avoid the upfront added costs and hassles to move. You know that feeling of buyers remorse' Well..we have it now. There's a recent rise in new tenants not cleaning up after their dogs crap. Its right there literally IN YOUR FACE, pile after pile. This VOMIT INDUCING, UNSANITARY disgusting bad habit is a health threat. REALLY...there's so much crap on the grounds that we are running out of available grass to take our dogs (including the small patches of grass in the parking area and as bold as in front of the leasing office). Its extreme and out of control!!! AND its so obvious, dogs crapping right on the sidewalk and from people trying to scrap it off their shoes. A few weeks ago, a passive approach by the leasing office in which they posted a few flyers (nicest warning letter 6-8 inch font I've ever seen) near bldg elevators and inconspicuously near the mailbox area. There's a noticable lack of concern by the leasing office (as so many people have testified in other reviews. Tenants (including myself) have pleaded that they issue serious warning letters to ALL tenants...but that got nowhere. It's so bad here that one tenant had created his own flyer to post outside near the waste disposal stations (oh yeah did i forget to mention you'll step in crap while on the way to throw out your own dog's mess at these waste disposal stations which have an abudant supply of bags (however, recently were left empty for 2 weeks -- guess it was part of their promotion of NOT cleaning up after your pets week)...how crazy is that. I saw a neigbor yesterday taking photos of the crap..probably to report to the health dept...Its impossible to report anyone unless they evenutally become so arrogant enough to NOT pick up after their dogs right in front of anyone...oh yeah...tenants witnessed other tenants w/sling shots shooting paint balls from their balcony..leasing office was informed and again did not care....great..just one more piece of crap for my dogs to eat and get sick from..next to whole pieces of fried chicken thrown off balconies..even the occasional dead rat i've seen a neighbors dog find outside and ingest...There's also a quick turnaround in renting out apts. (supply and demand). Anyways...if you don't own a dog and paying the higher costs for location is your main desire in choosing to move here then I'd say it not much of a deterrent for you...but for those w/dogs who are considering moving here....better set aside add'l money to routinely clean your carpets (auto mats included), clean/replace your shoes, and vet expenses for parasites and/or other diseases, pay $100 in incremental rent costs every yr (oh and a stomach of steel). It's not worth it in ...our lease will not expire soon enough for us. Another interesting fact...I actually witnessed (by going inside another tenants apt) and have read in other reviews...if you end up w/heavy smokers next door to you..the second hand smoke will enter your apt thru the bathroom pipes and linen closet and if you can't tolerate it or maybe your dog develops allergies from it (more vet bills) because of the smoke...then the leasing office will not appear too concerned but will allow YOU to move to another one of their apts for a $500 fee of course in addition to the costs you'll have to fork up for movers if you have heavy furniture....NICE. Bottom line..it doesn't matter how much cash you have to afford living in these luxury apts..because it still doesn't guarantee you'll be happy where you live or who's living next to you. And if you already live here..don't renew..just ask around..you'll lean alot of other horror stories by just talking w/some of the tenants who have been here more than 1yr.
