Resident 2011

I would not recommend this place to my enemies even. I had a friend that got suckered into being a manager there, and she came away from the experience shaking. The owner forced her to give her phone number to all the tenants and if anyone had a problem any time of the day or night, she had to help them. She was getting calls to come fix the shower at 3 in the morning for drunk tenants. The owner said to her "we do not have to fix these people's apartments, and we will win in court." The owner's son's a lawyer. Go figure. She said that the owner would not let her call a licensed plumber or repair people, and quit within a month. They use 2 repair people, one isn't even licensed, and the other one is only in Juneau sometimes. Which means the tenant has to wait for weeks sometimes to get stuff done. The place has bugs and the owner refuses to get an extermanator. She consistantly does not give people back their deposit. Say goodbye to your deposit if you rent from them. The building is an eyesore, and disgraces Juneau. Drunks sleep on the floor, and I heard horror stories of them partying in the hallways and puking in the trashcans in the laundry room. The lock is broken on the front door. Anyone beligerant enough to pull hard on the door will get in. It gets worse. There are people living there that the owner threatens to kick out every month, but she insists she can't. The truth is she won't involve the proper authorities. The people living there have started fights with the other tenants, make so much noise all night every night and disturb the other tenants, and smoke cigarettes so much cigarette smoke goes into the other apartments. Yet she cannot have the police remove them..????? All apartments are overpriced in Juneau. The cost of living there is high. Do your research before you just come try to live 4 thousand miles away from the rest of the country. I agree it's outrageous, $925 for a one bedroom slum. If you are on the front of the building, invest in a great pair of earplugs. The noise is amazing. The building is in the heart of the bar district. I am totally against anyone with a child renting there. It's a dangerous place for kids. Oh, and fyi, there are known sex offenders living there. The washers and dryers are a joke. People lock the doors all time to reserve them or something, and sometimes your clothes get locked in. Oh yeah, unless you want to get the manager out of bed to solve your problems with the other tenants. The place is a disgrace to Juneau. If I could have given it no stars, I would have.
