426 Surf Street Building: Worst Management Ever! (Not Recommending)

2008-08-22T12:00:09-06:00

From -Anonymous-: The Management staff from BJB Partners, which manages the building on Surf as well as the building on Surf/Sheridan and Surf/Pinegrovis awful, to put it mildly.

426 Surf Street Building: Horrible Managerment - No Flexibility (Not Recommending)

2006-06-04T21:45:55-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This apartment seemed quite nice from first appearances.

2005-01-30T14:31:23-06:00

From cadencejane: I moved into this place coming from CA. with literally two days to find one. We lived in a two bedroom, although I am not sure if technically the one room, being reaaaallly tiny, should account for a second room. We faced a brick wall on the main side, which ...

2004-06-08T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I lived here for about 8 months last year and from the current reviews, it looks like nothing has changed. From the mail theft to the construction workers. Several times they left an air compressor on in the apartment next door - all night long.

For some reason the vent ... [click to read full apartment review]

2003-11-13T00:00:00-06:00

We currently have no heat in the building, so the management passed out "space heaters" to everyone. When mine didn´t work, and I let management know, they literally DID NOT CARE. After complaining daily for ... [click to read full apartment review]

2003-03-05T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: 426 Surf has all the character and charm of a vintage building. (I believe it was a hotel back in the 1920s.) It has great amenities and my apartment is renovated with wood floors, a dishwaher and microwave. I love being steps away from the lake--it´s so convenient to go ...
