Great Building, Serious Room for Improvement.
Pros
Great location. The building is conveniently located with easy access to transportation, shopping, restaurants, and everything you need nearby. * Modern apartments. The apartments have a contemporary feel and, overall, can be comfortable and enjoyable places to live. * Amenities and common areas. The building offers amenities that are definitely a plus when they are properly maintained and available. * Some wonderful staff members. Over the years, I’ve encountered staff who genuinely care about the residents and try their best to help. * It can feel like home. After living here for many years, I’ve built connections with neighbors and the community, which is something I truly value.
Cons
* Elevator reliability. Elevator outages and recurring problems can be extremely frustrating, especially in a large residential building. * Maintenance response can be slow.

With the cost of living here, residents should not have to repeatedly chase management regarding basic services or unresol

Elevator problems and outages have also been a recurring source of frustration and inconvenience. Communication from management regarding repairs, outages, security concerns, and other building issues could be much more proactive and transparent. Most concerning are the safety and security issues. There have been inciden
The MODA APARTMENTS
Pros
Water pressure is good, front desk staff is friendly and efficient, pest-free apartment (at least my floor).

Windows only open halfway with NO SCREENS to keep flying pests out. No food composting on each floor. Amenities are mediocre and need improvement. Lack of closet space. Air quality is horrible.
Advice to the owners
Always need ventilation to help with the D rating for air quality.
