    There is no insect screen on the balcony door this is very important

      October 3, 2025
      Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand how important it is to enjoy fresh air while keeping insects out, and we’re sorry for the inconvenience caused by the lack of a balcony door screen. While our apartments do not currently come with built-in insect screens, many residents have found success with easy-to-install options available online, such as magnetic mesh door screens. If you’d like, we’d be happy to share a recommendation that works well and is renter-friendly. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to the office so we can provide you with more details. We truly appreciate your input, as it helps us better understand the needs of our community. Thank you, Macy Mansion Community Manager

    I made an appointment and received 3 emails confirming the time. When I arrived at the property, no one is in the leasing office. I called the number on the tour instruction and kept getting hang up.

      Thank you for reaching out, and I apologize for the inconvenience you experienced. The issue arose due to a previous appointment that ran longer than expected, which unfortunately caused a delay and impacted your scheduled time. While I did receive confirmation emails and had you properly scheduled, the overlap led to a gap in coverage at the leasing office. I also apologize for the difficulty you had reaching someone by phone during that time. We will continue doing our best to get your appointment rescheduled as soon as possible. Please feel free to share your availability, and we’ll coordinate accordingly to ensure someone is present to assist you. Thank you for your understanding and patience.

    Pros: Units have excellent layouts and terraces are nice. Good lighting & ample windows. New maintenance person is a new positive for the property. Parking garage is nice. Cons: Chronic marijuana smell & cigarette stench. Longstanding problem. Very filthy hallway carpeting and garbage room area on our floor. Management action regarding marijuana problem resolution is poor and close to zero. Management needs to up its game and focus on residents' quality of life. Improved responsiveness to ...
    complaints would also go a long way.

      Hi there, Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention to address. If a noise, smoking, or other nuisance is reported, we conduct an internal investigation by first discussing it with staff and security to confirm if this issue has been reported to them and/or has been witnessed by them. The next step taken is to contact the surrounding neighbors to see if they are experiencing the same issue as well. Once the investigation is concluded and it is determined that the resident is in breach of their agreement, the next course of action is taken, which is the following: 1. Verbal talk (followed by an email recap for documentation) 2: Violation Notice Served 3-Legal Notice Served 4: Legal steps (in this step, the process and schedule are based on the legal department and court's availability). While we cannot share with you the steps that we are currently taking for this resident due to confidential purposes, we can just share the general steps that we take for recurring issues ...
      and lease violations. Our patrol officer is always available to assist residents after office hours. We also, share their contact to all resident. Please reach out them if its after hours and we will follow up when we are in the office. Thank you for your patience while we address your concerns accordingly.
