101 Wells Apartments

and stressful living here. This is a health hazard for myself and everyone else living in that is complex! I plan on filing a formal complaint with the courts and putting rent into escrow until I can move when my lease is up.

their commentary during a game of beer pong. Or wake up in the AM to a pile of puke in the elevator or outside the entrance - The hallways either smell like weed or cigarettes. Management sends emails reminding people this isn’t cool, but nothing has changed - Dog poop all over the grounds. No one picks up after their dogs -Trash rooms stink, overflow, and fill with fruit flies -The big windows are nice to look at but are OLD and the draft during the winter will cause your electric bill to skyrocket -No one wore masks in the elevators in the middle of a pandemic and management never mandated it like other buildings in area. They provided a “suggestion.” -Our AC broke twice and of course on the hottest days - Buy a SOLID pair of slippers because the splinters from the wood floors will rip your feet up -The Package room is a disaster and totally unorganized. We ended up opening up a local mailbox just to get our stuff- I rather pay than deal with that mess Pros: Price Space Large parking lot - one space free per unit Close to 95 We are not renewing and can’t wait to get out of here. If you miss the good ol college days, this place is for you.

at the wall. This same spot has been painted over (repaired to management standards) and of course reappeared months later. As a result of painting over mold - both individuals in the unit had issues with asthma. In addition an NOD was served to management. They were told a roofer is coming - no one has come to fix the leak - so most likely it will be painted over when they move out for new unknowing tenants. 2 months after serving management with a Notice of Defect (sent by Green and Healthy Homes Initiative for an expired lead certificate, peeling paint, mold, etc.) no UTD certificate or repairs have been made. Though they have had an inspector come twice to test for lead as the first test had inconclusive results in the HVAC closet - Not exactly reassuring as a tenant here. Finally, the most intrusive concern is that management helps themselves into your unit. Not just to make repairs that are authorized from the online portal. Several instances can be cited but here's an example: My friend in the 103 building who lives alone (female) has come back to her toilet seat up, with urine in the toilet from a worker making repairs (at least flush smh). Another couple in 101 installed cameras that turn on when workers enter the unit (something management was unaware of - after watching them in her unit I started feeling uncomfortable about leaving anything valuable out at home (when you're scared to leave your belongings in a locked apt that you pay for, its time to go). It's unclear whether the problem with management is due to the individuals that have oversight in this location/region or if its because the management company is a larger corporation and limits their ability to be responsive by implementing strict budgets and spreading staff thin in multiple complexes in the area. To be quite honest I suspect its a bit of a mix - but local management definitely could improve by at least proofreading/fact checking prior to responding to emails if/when they do respond.

utilities on? You must have done and forgotten. The on-site as well as the regional manager are probably the least educated individuals I've ever encountered. If you are going to be non-responsive, flat out lie, and/or be deceitful - at least be smart enough not to put in writing things that are later rescinded. But despite all of the issues the #1 concern is that they are out of compliance with FEDERAL, STATE, and CITY LAWS RELATED TO LEAD PAINT. Individual units are supposed to obtain full risk reduction certifications upon tenant turnover and tenants are supposed to receive copies of said certifications as well as educational materials. There are at least 6 units that are in violation and i'd guess that the majority are. If thats not cause for concern - the lead paint hazards in the common areas, structural issues (crumbling stairs and walls), and the fact that they allow uncertified individuals try to quick fix the problems (another violation when it comes to lead paint) is absolutely negligent and without regard to any of the tenants individual health and wellbeing. STEER CLEAR OF THIS PLACE.

that we have had very serious HVAC issues with vents in some rooms not working and the entire HVAC unit not working on several occasions for weeks at a time.
