This building should be condemed.
January 16, 2020The people who run this place will probably face a lawsuit soon. When I lived here they took the best part of a week to respond to a leak in my roof, management is dangerously incompetent and negligent. They refused to give me my deposit back despite no major damage or problems, I even paid for a carpet cleaning service and a maid cleaning service to try and get he most back from my deposit. They radically overcharged for small issues and didn't even get back to me for close to two month despite ...close to 10 phone calls and two visits. The building is dirty the air conditioning barely works and the place is oddly expensive for the unbelievably low quality. Better to be homeless than live here.Read MoreReview from Apartments.com
