I moved in and had roaches in my fridge before even moving anything into the apartment. When I told the front office, I received a shocked Pikachu face and was told how the unit was just remodeled and the fridge is new and they are surprised by the roach. I made the mistake of moving across the country without actually looking at the place. I trusted the pictures and reviews online instead of finding out what the place is really like.
The roach situation is so bad, that they have an exterminator
...come out weekly to address it. Problem is that when they come in and spray one unit, the roaches move into the unit next door. They aren't addressing the issue that the roaches have infested the building as a whole and not in one designated apartment. This whack-a-mole approach to the roaches is meant to give the appearance of addressing the issue without actually having to do so.
That being said, I was BITTEN by ROACHES every single day I lived there. I would find at least 1 roach crawling on my desk every day. Several in the bathroom (say hi to them in the shower or while using the toilet) and at night, you could literally feel the roaches crawling across your skin and biting you. The roaches will get you no matter who you are.
I also had a leak in my closet that I noticed the day after moving in. I told the office, they came and said they fixed the issue and then painted over the stain. The leak kept happening over and over and eventually got all over my clothes. How they fix stuff is patch work. Not actually addressing the issue. Do they come out when you call? Yes. Do they ever fix the underlying issue? No.
THEY DON"T CARE ABOUT YOU. You are another form of income for these people. After about 2 months I had to break my lease and leave. This place was taking a toll on my health both physically and mentally. I've never felt so dirty in my life. I would wake up throughout the night to roaches biting me.
When I asked to break my lease, is when I was finally offered a different unit that, "Nobody in that building has complained of roaches so there shouldn't be any there. Also, it's one story so there shouldn't be any leaks in the ceiling." Why did they wait so long to offer to do the right thing?
What I do know is, for your mental and physical health don't live here. Don't let the pictures online fool you. All they did was put new cabinets and appliances in. You can paint a trash can to make it look new but at the end of the day, it's still a trash can.
Parking is first come first served.
