Why You Shouldn't Live Here
1. GATE: Buzz in is ridiculous, digit codes don't work, your number gets called to let people in person has to scroll a long list to find your name. Sometimes gate doesn't even open.
2. LAUNDRY CARD: To charge laundry card you must use a $5 bill ONLY, if not, your debit card(& you can't charge online I've tried)
3. "WIFI CAFE": Closes at 10pm, so good luck charging your laundry card in that room to do late night laundry, or getting vending machine snacks. It's also EXTREMELY hot in there with no air conditioning.
4. "FITNESS CENTER": Is just 3 treadmills, 2 bikes, 2 stair thingys & weights. (Also stupidly closes at 10pm, so no late night workouts unfortunately)
5. ELEVATORS: Are always breaking in BOTH buildings. If you're on a high floor, goodluck.
6. LAUNDRY ROOM: Has ONLY TWO washer and dryers on each floor. People will leave their clothes in both machines for hours so you will have to use another floor's laundry room as I have. (or remove someone's clothes and risk a beat down)
7. FIRE ALARM: When 1 person's goes off, the entire floor has to hear the awful ear-piercing noise. It has to be harmful for pet's ears. You could be woken up at 3am simply because someone burned food and you just have to sit and wait for them to turn it off.
8. MAIL ROOM: NO cameras + TINY Mailboxes = LOTS OF THEFT, if FedEx, Amazon, UPS leaves your package in that room it will be torn open. USPS has put this building on a no-delivery order if your package wont fit in the mailbox due to the amount of theft that occurs. Prepare for many trips to the post office.
9. LOCKOUTS: If you lose your key, office manager will shrug at you and say verbatim "we don't do lock outs, you'll have to get a lock smith or pay $100 for a new setup" (mind you, the maintenance man has a key to every apartment and could easily let you in after verifying you live there) They don't care.
10. POOL: CLOSED AT 5PM! According to tenants (and reviewers) it had been completely closed for the pandemic, 2022 they finally opened it up just to close it at 5pm. The pool opens at 10am, If you're at work 10am - 5pm I'm sorry for you. They claim the city wont let them open it past 5pm. Yeah right.
11. WATER ISSUES: There will either be no hot water, or no water at all. That has been problem since I moved here in 2020. They collect thousands in rent from us monthly and we can't even have hot water? As I write this, the water is cold and this is the 5th time the water system has failed. (they installed a brand new system on the 4th time and it still failed, I'll attach proof its pathetic.)
12. RENT INCREASES: Despite every problem I listed, your rent goes up each year. They make more money and the building gets worse. No remodeling, no upgrade "gym", pool closed at 5pm, same damaged hallways, with smelly old carpet and busted walls. Unfair, sick,cruel joke. They are losing tenants so badly they are giving bonuses (in our rent balance) if refer people to live here. (Attached a photo of that as well)
