I thought this was THE building to live in….
Pros
Location is great for convenience. There is a shopping center just up the road with Whole Foods, Target, Sephora, etc. Trader Joe’s is a couple of blocks down the road. The concierge team is great.
Cons
Building management has no clue as to what is going on in the building and does not address legitimate problems within the building. Example: There was a fire in a compactor in the basement with smoke filling up the floors up to the top floor. Not one smoke alarm went off yet if we boil water on our stove, the fire alarm in our apartment goes off. Leasing agent will lie through their teeth to get you to commit. Example: We had very specific questions/concerns about the building when we toured the property. We were assured by the leasing agent that the questions/concerns that we raised were not a problem. Every concern is a rather large problem. The building is pet friendly for a fee but you cannot take your dogs onto the roof deck or in the courtyard. I could go on for days. Long story short, don’t move here.
Advice to the owners
Stop focusing on “building community” and address legitimate issues that affect the day to day of your tenants
Not luxury, rude residents, terrible parents and nannies
Pros
Location, light, front desk staff
Cons
Noise, management, hidden fees (water, sewage, hot water, pets, rent fee), slow to enforce rules, chaotic, rude parents, entitled kids, nannies doing laundry in every machine all week
Advice to the owners
Get some security in the building to enforce rules and keep order, discourage mass laundry
