Franklin Towers Apartments

different spaces in the back while us hard working people pay for a spot monthly. He used to have a cat and dog locked up in the basement illegally but once he got caught by management he decided to put the animals in vacant apartments and they are frequently moved from empty apartment to the next. This guy Nelson is very rude does nothing for the building. if you have a concern he pretends to take care of it and sometimes doesn't get back to you for days. Its really because he leaves on little trips to the Dominican Republic. He basically thinks he owns the building. Nelson also tends to hit on the female teanants, this guy has no boundries. I really hope upper mamanagement replaces him. Hes bad news...

problems make moving to this building a bad idea.

in during the winter, we found that the one heater provided for our living space - when left running at full blast 24/7 - couldn't keep our apartment heated over 58 degrees. After a month of complaints to both the super and the building owners (and wearing our winter coats inside!), a second heater was installed. The temperature was bearable, but our electric bill for that last month of winter was not - it was nearly $400! Add that to the additional expenses (other utilities, the garage fee if you want to park your car, the pet fee charged for every one of your fur babies), and Franklin Towers is not the bargain it appears to be. The other little things that make moving here an experience that really isn't worth it: - There is one very old elevator that will be of very little help when you move in or out. - The driveway is one-car wide, but is used for two way traffic and exits onto a busy street. Not a safe situation. - The laundry facilities consist of five washers and dryers in a very un-pretty basement setting. - Often, the doors to outside don't lock. - People are permitted to walk their dogs in the "backyard" (vacant lot), and most people see no need to pick up after them. - Last winter, plows didn't come until roughly 9 AM to clear out snow from the parking area. Not a good situation if you are a human being who has a job with regular hours. - Bugs. We had a fly infestation at the beginning of the summer and currently are being visited by what may or may not be baby roaches. - The hallways have been disgusting, historically speaking. Like... they weren't cleaned once in the first nine months that we lived here. (In fairness, there is a new super who has had the hallways cleaned every week since he started. Let's just hope it stays that way!) These may all seem like small complaints, but when you're living with them, they add up. Please think twice before moving in.

supermarket, a bank, or the parkway so family can visit us. All these aspects make us want to move in as soon as possible!!
