If I could give zero stars, I would. I do not recommend you sign a lease with this place! There are so many problems wrong with this place, it's ridiculous.
When you first walk in, the hallways are dark and dirty. Carpets are stained and tiles are missing in lobby areas. The building managers barely ever clean. They started repainting the beginning of March. They did maybe a floor or two, and then never finished. That's how most projects around here are though.
There are mice all over the place. There are mice holes in the apartment, and you can hear them in the walls/floors too. We have walked into the dining room to see mice just sitting there. The management of our building just puts mice traps in the laundry room and electric area instead of calling someone to deal with it. Speaking of management- our building managers never take anything seriously. One of our neighbors has blared their music from 7 AM to 11 PM without the management saying one word. People are constantly smoking (weed and cigarettes) inside, the hallways reek. of it. Yet management does nothing. One of the managers is actually guilty of smoking inside too.
The windows severely need window treatments. Some windows are practically falling out when you try to open the storm screen. It makes heating and air conditioning extremely difficult. You have no control of the heat. There are radiator heaters which have a master control, and it probably only goes on every 3-5 hours during the winter. Extremely irresponsible of management since people in the building have pets and children. The radiators make the room unbearably hot for maybe 45 minutes, and the rest of the time it's cold due to the cold air blowing in through the terrible windows. There is no central air, so you have to try to cool the rooms off yourself, which can be quite difficult because of the windows (once again).
The newest thing in our building is now roaches. Which yet again, management refuses to do anything about! It's extremely irresponsible and unprofessional to have your tenants live in a building that has roaches. They're so unsanitary and who knows where they've been.
DO NOT LIVE HERE! The low rent is not worth the headaches! (Also, from what I hear, they don't return security deposits!) read more
