Resident 2013 - 2014

7/8/2014

Do not move here. We have lived in the building since September and have had numerous problems. 1. The insulation in the apartment is terrible and we basically spent the winter with no heat. You wouldn't know it by the cost of our electric bills - one month it was upwards of $500 dollars for an apartment that, no matter how often or long we would run the units, would not go over 68 degrees. We complained to management on 6-7 difference occasions and the problem was never fixed. We also requested a rent credit or some compensation for their failure to provide us with heating, but that was completely ignored. 2. Constant construction. We were aware that the building was under construction when we moved in. However, it has been going on every day since and the noise is UNBEARABLE. If you work nights or are home during the day forget it. It sounds like a jackhammer is right next to your head. Don't plan on sleeping, reading, watching tv, relaxing or even thinking. They also do construction work on Saturdays, so forget escaping the noise on the weekend. 3. Cannot use balcony. One major selling point of the apartment we rented was the two balconies (one off the living room and one off the bedroom). We stuck it out through the cold winter because we like out actual apt and wanted to enjoy it and the balconies when the weather got nice out. Well sucks for us, because they are now doing construction work on the balconies. We are not allowed to keep any items on the balcony and we have to keep our windows shut between 8:00 am and 6:00 pm. We are also not supposed to enter areas under construction or with temporary bracing and/or scaffolding - both on our balconies. So essentially we cannot use our balconies and we have been given no time frame as to when the work will be completed. This was not told to use when we signed the lease and nothing in the lease said that the construction would impact our use of the space we rented. 3. The pool has been under maintenance for months. This was one of the selling points of the building and you can't even use it. There has been no mention of when it will be fixed. All I can say is stay away.
