Several major problems
August 23, 2021 - Review from Apartments.com
I lived at Wyman Park for a few years, but I was definitely ready to move out when I did. Any prospective tenant should watch out for a few things:
1. The walls are thin, so you'll hear *everything* your neighbors do. How thin are the walls? I could hear one of neighbors urinate! Seriously, you'll hear everything. I had an international salesman move in next to me, and I couldn't sleep through his 2am sales calls, so I had sleep on my couch for the last couple months I was there.
2. The ...
management regularly resurfaces floors between tenants, but they don't use proper ventilation, so all the nearby apartments fill up with toxic fumes. Every month or two, I'd have to stay with friends because the fumes coming into my apartment were so bad.
3. For the winter of 20-21, the management kept the heat at a steady 81 degrees. There is some issue with the boiler that they're unwilling to spend the money repairing. I'd wake up sweating in February. To some extent, you can moderate the temperature by opening the windows, but that's wasteful, and several houses across the street use their fireplaces, so your apartment will smell like a campfire.
These are just the big issues. There are others, like the elevators break every 1-2 weeks (often when people are moving), there are a growing number of noisy dogs, the hot water temperature varies by 20 degrees while showering, and street parking is limited. Also, getting my deposit back was a hassle, so watch out for that.
