I will preface this review by saying that Shante rocks. Every interaction with her was pleasant & enjoyable. D was a very dedicated maintenance man when I needed him. I lived here for years before the management changed. Before this, it was a bustling community with a mixture of tenants. It was difficult to find a parking spot because of how full the building was. Now, the parking lot seems like a barren wasteland. I never had difficulty getting a good parking spot the last year I lived there.
...There have been a few safety concerns that arose over time. It's not uncommon for the police, CCBI, or both to arrive multiple times a week. I work early in the morning, & thrice there were HOMELESS PEOPLE SLEEPING IN THE LOBBY. One morning I had a gentleman wandering the halls approach me asking for a ride. There was a tenant who terrorized the building, screaming at people in the hallway, as well as trying to fight her neighbors. Another tenant would openly talk about his court dates, his weapons, drugs, etc. Every month there is a pest fee added to your rent, but nary an exterminator appeared in about a year. I was starting to get roaches when I left, so I guess that's what the pest fee was. The laundry rooms straight-up suck, between the dryers not drying after multiple loads to the washers not reading the laundry cards. Maintenance walks around a lot talking on their phones & talking to their friends. As stated above, D did a great job once. However, I once put in a ticket & it was not fixed for 4 days because they...didn't have a key to my apartment. And they...just...didn't tell me? They ended up taking my key to make a copy. My last gripe was that when I was moving out, we were told we couldn't park the U-Haul in front of the building or use the elevators in the lobby, despite this not being a rule for the entire 4.5 years I lived there. At the end of my tenure, there would be multiple U-Hauls at once with people moving out. I'm not sure if the change was to hide that so many people were moving or if there were other, more...sensitive & charged reasons. In conclusion, tenants are moving out at an alarming rate. The weekend I left, there were 3 other units being vacated. Since then, I have heard that there were upwards of 5 additional tenants leaving over the next few weeks. I hope management can get it together to save what was once a great building.
