I made a mistake of renting this place despite all the bad review since I couldn't find better place at the time. That was a big mistake. There are countless problems with this place. And it's not just people being picky about management, through many problems it is very clear the management do not care. Here are the problems I can remember: 1. My room is incredibly hot during the summer. Even when the AC is on it's barely effective. My bedroom will always stay above 80F. One time the AC broke and I can barely stand just being in the bedroom. The came to the apartment once to do some fixing to make the AC more efficient. Not only that did not helped. It makes it worse. There were barely air coming out and it spit out some black dust for several days. Heater also never work. I had to use my small space heater. 2. The apartment was not properly cleaned when I moved in. The carpet was still dirty. That didn't bother me that much. 3. There are 4 Washers and dryers. And at least one of them always broke. Several times I put my clothes in the dryer only to come back and found them still soaking wet. The laundry room is not clean and I found several bugs (roaches) around during summer. I finally gave up and just drive to a laundry place far away instead. 4. The trash. First of, there are not enough dumpsters around. I had to cross the street with my trash bags to a dumpster, which is usually full with trash lying around it. Then one day they decided to closed that dumpster for whatever reasons and put out a big blue dumpster in a driveway! I had to always throw my trash bags over the thing. That went on for over a month with no one care to fix it! 5. The stairway. This is such a ridiculous and dangerous problem. I live on a third floor and had to walk up a stairway to get to my room. The stair became unstable one day and the rails looked like it's gonna fall of. The staffs put a yellow no crossing tape around it and I had to use the one on the opposite side. This went on for several months with no one care to fix it!! Then one day, with no proper warning, I came out of my room and found the whole staircase gone. There were no rails left to guard me against falling to the ground either! They were fixing it for a long time, once had to put a new concrete right in front of my door, again with no warning!! 6. This was the worst problem for me. If not for this one I could have tolerated everything else. The bugs. I am irrationally scare one roaches. I don't mind any other insects. And I found way too many of them even few days after I moved in, so it's not because I was not clean. This was such a problem that I hated being in my apartment so much. Besides that, I also heard something running around on the roofs several times. I don't want to know what it was. The only good thing I can say about this place is the neighbors. They were nice and friendly. And I feel bad if they also have to go through this. Oh and the location was good, but definitely not worth living there.
