Beautiful area, poorly managed
Pros
I like the area. Nice path along the water near Caesar’s Bay to run/bike. Parking is typically easy without paying for the managed parking area. Close to many food joints. Building has held up relatively well.
Cons
It is currently July 2022 and we are currently on the 3rd super within the past 2 and a half years in the apartment. They are typically mentioning that they have too many things to fix in other apartments. The exterminator comes every third Saturday,m. The super attempted filling holes to prevent mice that have been in our apartment, but we still have a mouse problem. We had a leak in our kitchen that was fixed by the first super. Then they quit without finishing the fixing of the ceiling. Management did not let us know about the super quitting and we had to wait for months for the 2nd super to fix our kitchen. The problem was a leak upstairs. We then had a leak in the bathroom, which the 2nd super repaired but would not finish the job until management redid the bathroom upstairs for the leak. The final paint job on the kitchen was left unfinished. The super and management did not agree on the fix, so no one would finish bathroom ceiling job, until finally management told the super he must fix the ceiling. The 2nd super patched up the ceiling but did not finished the paint job on the ceiling. The 2nd super then quit and we waited for a few months for the 3rd super who finished the paint jobs in the kitchen and bathroom. The plumber sent over to fix a leak under our apartment (not caused by our apartment) made a mess of our bathroom. Management gave us no warning or expectations of the severity of the repair. The plumber left our bathroom a complete mess, using our personal towels to clean up and damaging many of our toiletries. We had to throw away several things AND spend hours cleaning up the bathroom after the emergency repair. There was no one to file a complaint to.
Advice to the owners
Try to figure how to retain the supers and not overload them with the work of maintenance. The plumber who is in your service for your buildings does NOT communicate well. Please find a better one.
Worst of the worst
Pros
Close to the water
Cons
They never fixed anything in the apartments, they would just lie that someone will come and no one every shows up. Only if you call the city they will show you some kind of attention..
Advice to the owners
Time to start respecting people who are feeding your families! You guys would only want count the money but won’t do anything in the buildings. The cheapest landlord out there.
