I do not recommend. I had to highly edit this review to fit in this space- sorry it's so choppy. There is A LOT more I wanted to express. I rode out my lease then I was GONE!
- I was told I had to put the power bill in my name 10 DAYS prior to move in. I got a call before the scheduled walk through saying the unit wasn't ready- I would have to do the walk through the ACTUAL DAY of my move-in. There were a few issues I found that needed repairs. Every sink was leaking underneath. The dishwasher was too big for it's space and was crammed in place underneath the counter in a way that would not allow it's door to close, making it unusable. My ceiling fan was missing a blade making it unusable. There was a large burn/stain in the carpet. The screen door for the patio was missing. Some of these were never fixed.
- 2 of my doors would not close because they are warped or ill-fitted. Maintenance came out and shaved/filed the side of the bathroom door (leaving a big mess of shavings for me to clean up), but the door still didn't close and the door just looked really bad after. There was no attempt to fix the other door.
- My main bathroom toilet flushed only 1/2 of the time.
- The dishwasher problem was fixed after a few days (by Maintenance shaving the bottom of the counter, again leaving me a mess to clean), but when I went to first use it, I found that someone had tossed several chicken wings in it and ran it. Yes, chicken wings! I took me a looong time to pull out the bones and all the nasty pieces stuck in the bottom drain. I had to almost take it apart. Not cool.
- I went 4 WEEKS with no A/C. I started the process of using Ohio's repair/rent escrow procedure. My A/C was fixed pretty quickly after I notified them I was going to do that. Again, they left a mess of dirt, debris, and a dark stain in the carpet for me to clean. The repair lasted just over two weeks before going down AGAIN. This time it was down for ANOTHER THREE WEEKS before they repaired it. It was then up for another 2 weeks before going down yet again- for a 3rd time. Over 7 Weeks total! In Winter I couldn't get it much warmer than 60 degrees.
- Had no hot water a few times. Water pressure is generally poor.
- Frequently the drain in the kitchen sink will make a gurgling/belching noise and a really foul odor comes out of it. Yuck.
- No real problems with bugs.
- The main lobby/rental office is nice. The exercise room is nice, and they recently upgraded/remodeled the pool here. The Package Concierge was convenient and kept deliveries secure until pickup- until it filled up. Then pkgs were left at the rental office desk to only be picked up during office hours.
- People just throw trash everywhere here. In the hallways, stairwells, parking lot, grass, bushes, wherever. One day I came home and found a bag of trash on my patio. It can get really bad after a weekend but by the time I got home on Monday it was clean again. The lawns are well maintained. Parking lots are plowed promptly in the winter.
- My neighbor had a huge dead raccoon next to their balcony for WEEKS before it was removed.
- Twice the building fire alarm sounded in the middle of the night during the week. Both false alarms.
- My building had a laundry room with 14 washers and 16 dryers. Almost half the dryers and a few of the washers were broken for months. However, all the dryers were repaired. It costs $1.95 to wash and $1.50 to dry a load. My clothes would frequently have an odor to them after washing.
- The buildings themselves have seen better days. The hallway carpets are dirty, worn, and stained. The hallways frequently smell like weed smoke.
- I never had any guests over because I was ashamed of the general condition of this unit.
- I had no issues with crime. Neighbors are friendly. It's pretty quiet here.
- Move out was pretty easy albeit expensive. When I moved in I put down a $299.00 security deposit. Four weeks after moving out I received a check in the mail from 444 Park for $45.00. I left that apt cleaner than it was when I moved in... especially the bathroom floors. read more
