Before I start let me just say that this will sound like a rant. But I promise you, I couldn't not make this up if I tried. The reason for being so descriptive is so that others can make a better decision than we did. So hear goes ...
On the positive side I will give this property One star for being a safe location, and I truly do mean that. And,
One star for convenience. It is Located extremely close to eateries, grocery stores, gas etc.
Unfortunately the rest will not make up for its faults. So there's the bumping of angry tenants (and we are on a high floor) the domestic yelling, the fact that our dog contacted worms twice because the vet report AND our personal findings from talking to other dog owners revealed that other tenants dogs had them. The sad part is that our dog got it because no one seems to clean up after there pet outside. Unauthorized dog breeds, and I mean pits and rotors... sizes (waay more than 50lbs which is THERE own REQUIREMENT on size limit.) now being a dog owner my whole life I have to pint out that I'm not talking about a few lbs, I'm tAlking about 90- well over 100lbs. When it's brought to the attention of the office, the women at the office claims that tenants may or may not he service animals which would be a valid point except that I doubt that vast majority would be the culprit in this regard... the building has a penalty find for this which is never enforced. All This combined with the un level floors (which to be honest at this point is a minor complaint) the sound of the train or heating and cooling system, rude outdoor maintenance crew taking smoke breaks in the parking garage that we pay extra $ to keep our cars in, neighbors that leave packages in hallways for months at a time, (yes I have pictures) and finally the smoke alarm that goes off with no embellishment 4-6 times a month! Usually 2 or 3 of those times within the same morning. Staff does not email apologies as the fire department is "used" to this happening. And after you've picked up your family and rushed outside on a Saturday morning, there is no all clear. Just a figure it out for your self and neighbors either getting in their cars and leaving or standing around looking at each other asking one another "is it ok to go back in?" As inconvenient as that was for us, I couldn't help feeling more sorry for a woman i saw an spoke to in my building with a newborn during these alarms. This is more important unsafe all around... That being said I have only politely formally complained to the office once in the year that we've lived hear. For what it's worth we're able to take away this knowledge with the fact that we have very set plans to move to into our own house in less than a year so that's a plus. I would not suggest coming here or staying unless you already have a definitive plan to go somewhere else with 3-6 months. read more
