Do not under any circumstances move into this building. When we moved into this building, our broker assured us that these reviews were old issues that had been resolved. As a tenant who currently lives here, I can confirm that none of these issues have been resolved. Brokers are well aware of these issues, and are encouraging people to move into this building. Air Conditioning, Heat, and Electricity - Our unit has had a broken AC and heat unit for 2 months. Management will not respond to us despite our countless calls and emails. They are telling other tenants it takes 3-4 months for AC/ heat to be fixed. This is in violation of our lease and city law. - This summer 106 units had broken air conditioning with temperatures reaching 90 degrees inside the unit. It took weeks for this issue to be resolved, regardless of management assuring us it has been fixed. - In the winter, the building lost heat and electricity multiple days, forcing residents to leave their apartments. In addition, elevators were broken forcing tenants to climb upwards of 20 flights of stairs to get to their unit. Water/Leaks - Units on the upper floors of this building have been experiencing ceiling and water leaks for 4+ months with no resolution. - Maintenance informed tenants on lower floors that there is a lose water pipe that shakes the bathroom upon use. They are unable to track down this pipe, but express its danger. Amenities: - Management and brokers have lied to tenants that the amenities are finished, just waiting for scaffolding to be picked up. - This has been told to tenants for 5+ years. These amenities are abandoned construction sites and will not be completed. - Despite this, tenants are forced to pay for usage each month. - The gym does not have AC and reaches upwards of 85 degrees, and has multiple dirty and broken machines that are a hazard. - The roof deck pictured in photos does not and will never exist. WiFi: - If you work from home, this building does not properly support your internet. Ever. Elevators/Safety - Each week, elevators in this building are out. When they work, elevators shake, get stuck, and free fall. You are only safe from this issue if you live on the first few floors. Still, you must climb the stairs where the well reaches 90 degrees. - The back door of this building is kept unlocked, providing access to anyone. The front reception has missed multiple people coming into this building unattended. Last year, there was an individual that needed to be removed from the building. Cigarette Smoke - Multiple floors experience severe cigarette smoke from tenants and maintenance employees who smoke inside the building. - During the winter, we even witnessed staff smoking cigarettes in hallways and stairwells. Security deposit: - The management did change during the term. The old management stole all security deposits, so we will not get them returned under new management who is arguably worse. Please avoid this building, especially if you have children, pets, or are an older folk. Even for young professionals in this building, living conditions are inhabitable, especially as of late.
