    If you like living in a construction zone, this is the place for you! No paint or carpet in the common areas for 4 months. The elevator breaks down regularly. The building was poorly built and in a constant state of disrepair. No amenities provided. But it's been an educational experience because now I know what it would be like to live in North Korea. On the plus side, the neighborhood is awesome.

    Terrible management and maintenance Staff is never accessible and rude. Keep changing staff and 'forget' to fix things. Contracts are shady to say the least and they pile on additional fees for everything yet provide minimum. While I lived here I had maintenance requests for the same things for over two years. Elevator is unsafe and hasn't been inspected since 2013. Fire exits are pitch black even when a fire alarm goes off. Deck railing and glass is slipping---unsafe for children. Front ...
    entry call box was broken the entire time...so no company could be buzzed in. Vents are filthy and impact allergies. Lots of dogs barking all the time.
