EVERYTHING ELSE! before we moved in we were told that we would get $300 in laundry credits for when they finish building the laundry room downstairs of our apartment. we never got those credits and never got the laundry room. there IS a laundry room though..in another building that they expect us to share with tenants of OUR building and tenants of the other one too. we weren’t aware of the awful neighbors and guests they did a good job of hiding it too when we went to view the apartment. the downstairs neighbors of the first floor are absolutely atrocious and disgusting. they blast music with their front door open every single day all hours of the night. they smoke the entire lobby up and even have parties then leave the garbage of the plastic cups and paper plates all over the floors. their kids scream and run around constantly like it’s a playground and leave sticky juice stains all over the floors. the downstairs neighbors also death glare anyone who comes into the building and act as if they own it because their grandparents have been there for years. they even put chairs in the lobby and do each other’s hair and drink and smoke as if it’s a lounge. the sign clearly says no drinking smoking etc and they do ALL of that. THEY ALSO STEAL PACKAGES. but the security cameras don’t even work in the building so they never get caught. aside from the neighbors let’s get into my apartment itself. the walls are insanely thin, i can basically hear my roommates breathe. there were constant roaches that came in so we had to buy caulk and seal every gap up ourselves. there was a giant hole left hidden to the left of the bathroom sink near the pipes so every time it rained we got a huge water bug without fail, so we had to seal that up too. our upstairs neighbor constantly has a broken shower so our bathroom ceiling has caved in and we had water burst everywhere and flood the bathroom twice already. and don’t get me started on the management. i’ve been here 7 months already and still haven’t talked to or even met the landlord?!!! they never reply to any calls or concerns. they’re also charging us rhino deposits for more months than they said they would so we’re being overcharged. i can’t wait to get out of here!!!!!!!

end of lease update: the management scammed and charged us money for “staying past our lease end date” even though we moved out of the apartment a month before it ended. stay away from shamco management at all costs

do your job?!

Cheap cheap rent.

Roaches in the building. Loud neighbors.

Nothing really honestly

The building itself is dirty, the downstairs neighbors especially treat the lobby as if it’s a part of their apartment. They smoke inside, litter, even do hair. They also steal packages and the building doesn’t do anything about it. The area is awful as well and is filled with a bunch of unemployed lowlifes in their 30s who day in and day out do nothing but smoke on their building steps. There’s also garbage everywhere. The apartment is “renovated” meaning they painted the walls white and got new Appliances, not a genuine renovation. The apartment/building is also infested with probably any bug you can think of, especially roaches. Walls are thin, doors to the apartment have cracks on the side so you can hear everything going on in the building and bugs can crawl right in. The building and apartments also have a permanent stench in them that does not go away, and if you open a window you get a stench of garbage to replace it. The company is also pretty shady and lied about having a laundry room and also didn’t even give me an official lease. Also put my rent as a few hundred bucks more on the portal and have never fixed it even though I’ve asked multiple times. Just don’t live here, I do not support gentrification, but a community like this that speaks out against their neighborhood being gentrified yet treating it like garbage, not getting any real jobs, just pushing drugs into the community is disgusting to witness. Don’t move here. They really put on a front when moving here cause it did not seem like this, but take my warning so you don’t make the same mistake I did.

take care of your buildings
