Resident 2008

12/18/2008

This building was recently purchased by a new owner (2 gentlemen that are partners) in the summer of 2008. They originally tried to kick everyone out in hopes to go 100% condo, then realized they didn't have the proper permits and that the real estate bubble was collapsing. So they let half of the building stay at a $300 increase in rent. Nice huh? Then the problems started. They recently installed individual heating/ac units in each apartment. Every current tenant was inconvenienced for a whole week for this install. The work was done half-a$$ed (like all work here) and it looks horrible. They left the duct work installed and came back for more inconvenience. They only use bottom shelf contractors to do work. They are horrible at installations and drywalling. They install drywall and never sand it before painting. Who paints without sanding drywall? **THE LATEST DISASTER** As of right now (12-18-2008) power has been restored after 36hrs of complete darkness and no heat. They planned to do a complete renovation of the electrical room on 12-17 from 9a-5p. It turned in to a disaster. The fire marshal came and made them stop work for improper work and failure to have proper permits and inspections. Tenants had to grab a hotel for the night of 12-17 and most are at a hotel for 12-18 since power was restored after 9p. The owners are completely negligent. They never return calls and it's obvious they don't care. They didn't even show their faces during this whole event. The building was condemned for a day, and I can only hope they are fined severely for all this. Who let's a perfectly good building get condemned for no good reason? Everything they touch they SCREW UP! I would suggest staying somewhere else. Rent is okay in the older units, but for $100-$200 more a month, it's worth it to go somewhere else. 4 negative reviews can't be wrong
