While we have been pleased with this property and our experiences here over the last year and several months, we have had some difficulty with and noticed some changes that have made us unhappy and that we believe to be important when choosing a property. We had reviewed the property just after having moved here, but feel we need to update it to reflect the things that have changed to our (and other residents we know) dissatisfaction...
certain amenities no longer available
mandatory online registry for paying rent. along with emailed billing statements to reflex any additional charges (what charges)
removal of grace period for rent (i.e., 3 days after the 1st of the month)
constant smell in some hallways, elevators and near trash rooms are noticeable and unpleasant
security doors to buildings doors broken/propped open continually
trash/cigarettes/litter in elevators, hallways and common areas.
high volume of unnecessary emails
management and some staff has been unpleasant
maintenance entered apartment without notice or permission
difficulty to terminate lease
bottom line: we feel we are overpaying for what we had purchased in light of these circumstances. we would not recommend this property. Location is still central and convenient.
