Horrible management/Loud crumpling building
Former Tenant
Pros:
Big windows, high ceilings, rooftop, it's 92 unit building so some neighbors are cool and some are loud, disruptive, and entitled.
Cons:
You can hear everything in the building all the time. If the upstairs neighbor spill something or an animal pees it leaks down onto your appliances, electronics, and stains your furniture. Carnegie management went to people's doors during the lockdown who couldn't pay and threatened to evict them and damage their credit. Carnegie management does not respond to issues. There's always bad smells, gas sewage in the halls. The basement floods. There's only one super on site and he's overloaded. repairs that are done are done cheaply and quickly. If you try to clean and scrub mold and scum in the bathroom and the counters They just crumble. No gas for 35 days in half the building during the lockdown. Management doesn't return security deposits. Rooftop is always falling apart, management only does stop loss repairs- nothing substantial. They do heavy demolition, like tearing down walls and renovating apartments early mornings and full days WITH NO NOTICE TO THE TENANTS in the surrounding apartments. This happened during a pandemic while people are working at home. They don't give back deposits and they extort money from their tenants. They don't do anything about problematic neighbors that create problems for everyday. Electricity bills are questionably high. Windows look nice but are very cheap and drafty. It is always extremely wet inside from condensation. They never wash the outside of the windows. The screens and window hinges always break. This would be a stellar place to live with better management. Carnegie management is extremely unorganized, unprofessional, and their representatives use rude, intimidating behavior, sexist and racist language towards the tenants.
Advice to owner:
Treat your tenants like humans or will come back to haunt you.
