Fun fact: Don’t live here. Why you ask? Well…
July 2, 2021 - Reseña de Apartments.com
The night of June 5th we heard buckling noises coming from the other room. When we went to go look, moments later the ceiling came down on my fiancee (literally). The pictures show it wasn’t just a little bit of ceiling that hit her in the head (1 month after her 3rd spine surgery). That night uptown wouldn’t provide a hotel or anywhere for us to live because it was still “livable”, that night she ended up spending in the ER to get her head, spine, and lungs checked out (from inhaling insulation ...
and having trouble breathing).
We thankfully were able to stay with my parents, but the whole time were told by Uptown this was “livable”. Meanwhile we didn’t feel safe since the ceiling already fell on us once, who was to say it wouldn’t happen again? Every time we went to take pictures we had trouble breathing and left coughing (even with masks on).
Workers came out that night from uptown to clean it, but pieces were still falling and everything in our apartment became covered in insulation. Workers ate our food, used & broke some of our personal belongings, left our doors unlocked, and more over the week of repairs.
We told Uptown about the cracks in the ceiling weeks prior to this. All that happened was they were covered up, no investigation as to the cause.
Why do I share this?
Per Uptown: it was not due to water damage. It was because the building was old and it has happened before. What’s to say it won’t happen again?
I would think twice about leasing with Uptown and think twice about renewing any lease with them. We did not feel safe. They have not been helpful dealing with this situation. They refuse to compensate the less than 1 month of rent for us not being able to live there because of not feeling safe and having trouble breathing when we walk in the apartment.
