Where do I start. What a nightmare it has been living at Eviva for barely a year. I’d like to share some instances that me and fellow residents have experienced in this period of time that will hopefully serve as a warning for anyone who considers moving into this building.
Most infamously, the hot water issues were present for nearly my entire lease term at this apartment. Certain floors would get little to no hot water, and this took (at least) 7 months to be “resolved.” Issues still persist,
...but they allegedly replaced whatever system they had to change these issues. Nothing was done for months while complaints FILLED the community forum.
This leads into another issue that I’ve seen consistently complained about on the community forum, which is the garage heat/ventilation. The garage gets dangerously hot and stuffy. I complained about it last summer as it genuinely becomes hazardous if you’re carrying items, disabled, or in any situation where prolonged exposure matters. The garage will sit at 90+ degrees. My pregnant partner has had fainting episodes in the garage due to how bad it gets. It is now summer 2026 and still nothing meaningful has been done to fix this issue. Management will occasionally reply with the classic copy-paste responses like “this complaint has been received, we are working to resolve this issue,” but nothing ever changes.
I have lived in other buildings in the area (Kindred, Gables, Citizen), and they are all infinitely better than this building. Amenities are better, management actually seems to care about residents, and they don’t cut corners the same way. The management team at Eviva honestly feels like being stuck under a petty landlord in New York that makes your life harder just because they can. I’m not saying there’s a personal grudge, but it sure feels like it at times.
More recently, they placed a vacancy notice in my mailbox without ever discussing it with me. This caused me to miss important baby shower items that were scheduled to arrive for a specific date. It also completely broke my trust, and now I question whether it’s safe for any further packages or mail to be delivered, since they clearly feel comfortable accessing mailboxes without any communication.
Please do yourself a favor and stay away from this building. There are plenty of similarly priced options in the neighborhood that I’ve personally had much better experiences with.
