Resident 2012 - 2013

3/3/2013

These apartments are beautiful and well located. The property manager is grossly incompetent, condescending, and something of con man. Any issue we have had while living in this apartment has been ignored. The property advertises free wifi, which consistently goes down for days on end. When Marty was approached about the issue, he said that since it was not in the lease, he had no obligation to fix it. We had to get our own internet installed. Every maintenance request has been unanswered, both by the management company Marty employed for six months, Axiom, and by Marty himself after he fired Axiom. The lights in the stairwells are either burnt out and never replaced, or just not turned on with any regularity, leaving the stairwell in pitch darkness. The only thing we ever got fixed was a broken window, and my husband had to threaten to sue in order to get that taken care of. The apartment was quoted to us at $500/month, until the day we moved in, when it was raised to $525. Marty insisted it wasn't a bait and switch, when in fact that's exactly what it was. He then told us that the pet fee was $200 up front OR $20/month. He actually meant AND. So we suddenly ended up paying $545 $40/month for wifi, when we had been promised $500/month and free wifi. In conclusion the apartment and building are beautiful, but our landlord is so horrible that I will not recommend this property or any others under Marty's purview.
