The garbage chute has been backed up for 3 weeks now.
September 30, 2020 - Review from Apartments.com
I have lived at the Racquet Club Apartments for around 5 years now.
You used to get a membership to the club next door, but that is now closed.
There is almost an issue with an elevator being out of service per week, but you simply get used to that.
The latest problem is that maybe the trash compactor broke, and now there is actually trash backed up in the trash chute spanning many floors, and at this point the trash in the chute has started rotting, and smells just like how you can imagine. ...
Because of this, the maintenance staff need to leave the garage open in the basement to quite literally air out the smell of garbage. What that means is overnight, the first floor, and elevators smell like rotting, decaying garbage. Yum.
Now I would be rating the property 2 - 3 stars, but we're going on week 3 of backed up garbage, with no statement or announcement from the office staff.
I also am NOT pinning this on the maintenance staff of the building, they are doing everything they can and they're excellent at what they do. I'm sure the excuse is going to be "Oh Covid-19".
Speaking of Covid, the office is now closed, but there are still office staff working it, but a sign that states residents must call and not physically speak with them.
Awesome eh?
To sum it up, the building is declining, and Covid has sped up the process significantly.
It's a shame.
