Fast move in but lies to get you to sign

Management lied to get me to sign the lease. They said construction would end soon and it’s been months of demolition, construction at all hours and lies and deceit from management team. They claim to recently have bought the building and that construction wasn’t that bad.. Turned into months of unbearable construction

Elderly lady from 4B seems ok at first but seems to work her way in with people just to talk about the family from 3B. You could be having a random conversation with her and she ALWAYS brings up 3B the family mother and children. She is very obsessed over them. Bad mouths them and it’s a shame. I heard her over 59 times do it. She tries to befriend people on the third floor just to bring up the family asking questions and saying they live right next to the girl in 3B. The family that lives in 3B is very sweet and keeps to themselves. You hear the kids laughing and having a good time. The family mind their business and always nice. The elderly lady tries to tarnish the people’s opinion of the family and it’s really sad and I often felt sorry for the young mother as Adie would call wellness checks and called the police for no reason several times. If you really sit and watch it the whole old sweet lady act is just that, an act. She is very evil and hates kids. Always something negative to say and always a reason to bring them up. It gets tiring the ongoing campaign and a few times I corrected her saying they are actually nice she got mad at me and would open her door when I passed look at me then slam her door shut. Now that I think about it she constantly opened her door all hours day and night and often came out saying hello to nobody. something very off about Adie. Saw her through my peek hole going into an apartment that was waiting to be rented. Seriously weirded me out. Hope she gets the help she needs but I’m moving out the end of the month and glad to be away from Adie. Had my own bad experience with her. She embarrassed me in front of my parents when I was giving them a tour saying that I come home late with many different men. My dad almost threatened to cut me off. Adie also never remembered my name or anyone else name took everybody’s number down please beware I hope future residents will see this and not entertain the sweet old lady act.

Do not lie to people to get them in

Zero pros no good

There is an old lady that constantly opens her door and stops people that are coming in or out. She will act like she is befriending you when she moves in but is very very overbearing. She stops random people whether she knows you or not. Opens her door and asks “hello” several times or angrily questions “what is going on!” She jumps up almost every time people come in and if they reach her floor or not she looks to see who it is. It has gotten way worse as the new owners installed a video doorbell camera in the front. I mean it was bad before but the fact that she has constant access to the people coming in and out of the building it just feels like she spends 24/7 watching the camera now. She is known for falsely utilizing city services like the fire department, EMS and even the police. A lot of times she just mindlessly wanders the building. Often try’s to get into other people’s apartments. She will stop you and speak about the same thing a thousand times and not remember your name. She wants everybody to be on her side and has an Issue with them when they are not. Constantly targeted a young mother who lived there and anyone who didn’t agree with her opinion would be the next target. It was really pitiful to watch. Within the thousands of times she says the same stories, there are always inconsistencies and she is so hell bent on making people believe her. I used to hear her and the super talk so much crap about all the residents for about an hour at a time. She apparently has lived there since the 70s so she thinks she owns the building lol. Beware. You can’t even have your fire alarm go off without her calling the fire department to have them bust down your door like if she smells fire.
There are new owners now and I can’t believe they want $4k for an apartment here. Don’t let these con artists fool you, Adrienne even told me that they told her not to come out when they are showing the building. They know what a problem she is. Her husband died and she inherited the apartment. She is such a nuisance honestly and brags about her rent controlled apartment. Pays $150 rent a month and is such a problem.
She is the only old lady in the building, the only one who comes out and stops people - I’m sure you’ll run into her on your second day living there and every day after that too lol. Good luck if you live there. I just left there Tuesday and been there a year and since the new owners bought the place a few months ago, there has been non stop construction morning until 5pm. The new owners do not care about following safety protocols when it comes to the construction and in fact put it as part of the lease or in my case lease renewal is that you can not sue if you get hurt from the construction or anything that happens. They lie about the construction to potential new clients just to get them in there. Guaranteed to have some type of issue living there either though the old lady or poor management team.
New management team is Monday Management they tell construction they don’t care if it works make it look pretty. Once you get here it’s hard to leave. One time a girl moved from across the country to a shower that didn’t work and they knew that. New owner is Parke Leatherman. Strongly think the old owners still own this building along with these new ones.
For astronomical prices they should at least put Adrienne Adie from apartment 12 in a facility that she belongs. Don’t know if it’s dementia or obsession compulsive disorder or other MH issues.. She lies, whispers and mixes up stories and says it matter factly. That is a dangerous characteristic. She has a lot of conflicts internally and lashes out on people who don’t kiss her butt. I made sure not to get on her bad side but it was draining hearing the same old thing, same old campaign running, open the front door and hear her door open and hear her calling down to you or waiting for you to come up. She is from apartment 12. Try to at least not live on her floor. I lived in apartment 20 and she still always found a way to stop me when I was coming in from work, a drink at the bar, coming in with friends, etc. She has to investigate every little noise. Needs to be in a psych ward or nursing home ASAP. If you think it’s the sweet little grandma type you will be horrificly surprised. Be smart. Warning.

Lady from apartment 12 is a real property value sinker.
