June 9, 2023 - Review from Apartments.com
My experience for the past three years has been horrible. It’s not based on one or two weeks of bad luck…it’s based on living in possibly the worst apartment complex in downtown tampa. Why am I here? Money. I am a grad student who needs to live in downtown and I share an apartment with peers so it’s affordable. But if you can afford an extra 100-200-300 bucks, do yourself a favor and please avoid Slade at all costs. Here is what’s wrong.
-without exaggerating the alarm system has gone off a ...
minimum of 40 times since el moved here in 2020. There is always a “false alarm” and they always send emails saying “the fire department is testing to see what’s wrong”…but after 3 years you would think whatever issue the alarm system would be fixed. The staff are absolutely rude about it with the staff manager that has her office in the south tower saying recently “oh well there is another one, nothing we can do”after I shared my frustration for the alarm system going off 6 times in less than 24 hours.
-The garage gate is always broken. In 3 years I been here, 25% of the nights the gate is wide open because “it’s been looked at or trying to be repaired”. There is a lack of security when it comes to keeping the cars safe with multiple thefts having been reported in the slade parking garage.
-The elevators are always broken. Just when I wished the issues were limited to the garage door and alarm system, here comes the elevators. I Can confidently bet in Vegas that at any given week there is a 50-75% chance that the tower elevators are down.
-The locker room system for delivery of packages has caused issues with all residents with packages worth hundred of dollars gone missing.
-The staff is extremely rude and unprofessional (except for the cleaning and maintenance staff). I’m referring to the three ladies that sit in the first floor of the south tower. They are always defensive, rude, insulting, and confuse resident issues with attacks against them.
-lastly: excessive towing. I understand the business behind towing, but Slade adds multiple reasons to get cars towed. One day I came back from vacation and my car was towed for several days for having my registration sticker expired. I expect that from police officers and not from the place where I live. I mean seriously.
