You cannot have packages delivered here if you live here.
December 14, 2024
I’ve lived here for three years and the situation has only gotten worse when it comes to building security. Homeless people regularly congregate in the garage, and you will not be able to have anything delivered here. I have had thousands of dollars of packages stolen, and now have to resort to sending all my packages to a PO Box. When I’ve contacted them asking if they’re going to do anything, I get a standard “sorry you had a bad time!” Form response, with no change. Do not rent here, it is ...
not safe.
- Property Manager Responded
  December 18, 2024
  Hello ,We appreciate your willingness to provide our team with your feedback. We greatly appreciate your point of view, and I comprehend that living in the city can be both frustrating and difficult at times. We understand that package theft is common in Seattle, and we're sorry to learn that packages have been taken. We are doing everything in our power to ensure the safety of our residents. We do have other community homes outside of the city; perhaps you could ask your community relations personnel what options you might have for a transfer. Please feel free to reach me at ersandoval@essex.com with questions or comments. Kindly, Mila S.| General Operations Manager

Review from Apartments.com

Impossible to get deliveries, sleep
December 6, 2023
Units aren't so bad. Weirdly crappy washer/driers for a "luxury" apartment. Short walk to the train station. Packages are impossible to get, and you can forget getting takeout. Getting a delivery person in through the labyrinth of doors, gates and locks is Herculean. Fire alarms are constant. Minimum once a month, frequently twice. Always in the middle of the night, generally between 2-4am. You and your pets will develop an anxiety disorder. Do not recommend.
- Property Manager Responded
  December 19, 2023
  Hello, Thank you for your review of Patent 523! I am sorry to hear that you are having issues as a resident here at Patent. We have been working diligently with local law enforcement regarding the fire alarms being pulled and have isolated and remedied that issue. You should see a huge improvement in the alarms around the community. We encourage our residents to provide their courier with door codes to call them upon delivery to assist in navigating the community. If you would like to reach out to us directly, I would love to address your concerns more in depth.

Staff is miserable to work with.
May 4, 2023
There are so many issues with this place. Staff is miserable to work with, had problems since before moving in and every instance since. The most recent issues was when we put in a maintenance request today for a leak. We requested they came in the afternoon since I was busy with something and asked for them to contact us beforehand. Imagine my surprise when I hear a knock at the door while staring into a webcam in front of other people; apparently they had decided to just ignore the requests ...
we'd made, they acknowledged they'd seen them, but had chosen to ignore them. Obviously having people randomly show up to go in and out of your apartment if you work from home is a huge issue. Got no notice that they were going to show up whenever they felt like either. Spent the rest of the day frustrated and irritated. Place is a complete joke.

Nobody Works Here
June 21, 2022
This place has been a complete nightmare from the start. Our tour was interrupted by a current resident who tracked down the leasing staff to complain about a problem. Wish I had paid more attention to this red flag and not moved here. The staff our completely inaccessible. The leasing office's windows are now blacked out and their our signs everywhere stating the office is closed to current residence. We have had an issue for a while now and there is no one to contact. No one seems to work at ...

Too expensive, not well lit or ventilated
May 1, 2019
The apartments are atleast 10-15% more expensive than similar apartments in the area. Which begs the question, what does Patent 523 bring to the table that these other apartments don't? And the answer would be - nothing at all. There is no air conditioning so you're left to suffer incredibly hot temperatures in the apartment during summer. There is no cross ventilation, most of the apartments looks like a shipyard container, closed on all sides except we can crack open windows. No patio or ...
balcony. They attempt to redeem themselves with roof top, but lets be honest, there are apartments with better view than that, in Seattle and they don't have the problems which clearly this apartment has

Property Well Maintained
January 25, 2019
Patent 523 apartment complex is a very well kept environment that you would look for in Capitol Hill. Once you decide to live here, things will not go wrong. I lived here for almost 2 years. Stachio must be complimented for his dedication and efficiency.

Location, Location, Location!
October 10, 2015
Did I mention it's in a great location? Near perfect walk score; conveniently minutes away from almost everything you could need in the North Capitol Hill area of Seattle. Competitively priced (for Seattle anyway), spacious apartments, well equipped fitness center and community room, helpful staff and great office hours. Note: If you're a light sleeper like me, I would recommend a unit that doesn't face busy Broadway.

Joule
September 6, 2015
The building is beautiful, located in a great neighborhood, and has many amenities but the lofts have zero cross ventilation and face west. This means that on the hot summer days, the apartments reach high temperatures which make them unbearable. For $2500 a month, they can at least install air conditioners.
