| - UPDATE: I have increased the star rating from a 3 to a 4.
(6/11) Management contacted my husband later today (after the meeting with the HOA). They are going to help address my concerns with #7, and 8 (which I very much appreciate).

UPDATE: I have increased the star rating from a 1 to a 3.
A half hour after I made the below post, Loft 5 contacted my husband and said that they would like to meet with me and my husband to discuss the review (concerns) I had just posted on Yelp.
This morning (6/11) I had a meeting with the manager for the HOA, she was very pleasant, and she said they are looking into/are going to look into addressing #3, 4, 5, and 6 listed below.
My husband put in a request for someone to come and put caulk in our shower (so that mold won't grow in the shower/water damage issues don't occur right outside the shower). They are also going to fix the sink in the master bathroom.
They are scheduled to come on Saturday (6/13).
We still haven't spoken with the manager of the leasing department regarding #7, and 8. Though I expect that will occur shortly. However, I am hopeful that all of the below issues will be resolved in due time.
I plan on increasing the rating further as the necessary improvements are made, however, I am very pleased to hear that they have already been working hard on trying to resolve the light situation in the gym.

(6/11) Me and my husband have been living at Loft 5 for the past few years. The first unit we lived in was nice, and was put together well. However, with our second unit, I have found out that they rushed to put it together.
Here is the complete list of reasons why I would never recommend renting out a unit at Loft 5:
1.) The second unit we moved into (building #5) lacks quality. The bathroom counter in the master bedroom is falling apart.
2.) They used grout in the shower instead of caulk. Here is a link I found that goes further into why this is a BAD idea:

3.) One of our neighbors (I don't know who, but Loft 5 could figure this out since there are cameras) lets their dog poop on the carpeted stairs inside, and they just leave it there. This happens once every couple of weeks. I told Loft 5 about this after another incident of this occurring, (plus I was sick of looking at the smashed poop on the stairs every time I used them to walk to my unit), and they cleaned it up.
4.) I use the gym there regularly in the evenings after I get off of work. The lights turn off every 20 minutes....PITCH BLACK. Now, I use the treadmill, this means I have to pause it every 20 minutes and run over to the light sensor for the lights to turn back on. I told Loft 5 about this over a week ago, and they said they would take care of it. Nope....they still haven't taken care of it.
5.) The treadmills short out (completely turn off mid workout) after 40 minutes, and then, if that wasn't bad enough, multiple treadmills will short out if there is more that 1 person working out on the three (total) treadmills. They won't turn back on until another 20 minutes.
6.) The men's bathroom right outside of the gym is busted, so instead of fixing it as soon as possible, they posted a sign on the women's (stall) restroom, saying that it would act as a unisex bathroom until further notice. That was one month ago....enough said.
7.) They have raised their rent by $150 (unless you sign a year lease, which would only increase the rate to $100). For their horrible service, and the way they pinch pennies, this is shocking.
8.) There isn't enough parking spots, good luck in finding one if you got a unit that isn't a 2 bedroom (my husband gets the spot in the garage). Which means that I have to either try and find a "visitor" spot to park in, or I have to park on the sidewalk....good luck in finding any parking if someone is throwing a party :).
