Worse Experience of my life

Pros

Renewed Units Location

Cons

We had a bed bug infestation in our apartment. Just 20 days before ours, another unit had already reported an infestation, but management failed to properly address the problem or take measures to prevent it from spreading. Eventually, the bed bugs reached our apartment, and even after treatment, we continued finding live bugs. The building is also poorly maintained. There are several rats regularly around the trash area, the building is damp, and common areas are often dirty with garbage left in the hallways. One neighbor has dealt with water infiltration for months, with mushrooms reportedly growing from the walls. We've also had an unsealed hole in our kitchen that allowed a mouse to enter. Overall, the lack of maintenance and management's failure to properly address serious issues made this an extremely stressful experience. We ultimately decided to move out.

Avoid this Building

Pros

The apartment units inside are relatively nice, we enjoyed our unit. Water pressure is fine.

Cons

The management of this building is terrible. We had no heat and hot water for many weeks during our 1 year lease. In our lease, we were entitled to pest control once a month and they came once. The landlord is not responsive and I have never spoken to him, only emailed. Mice and pests are very common. Building is filthy.

Advice to the owners

New management just took over...hopefully they are better!
