Landlords are SCUMBAGS
Pros
The staff *in* this building are incredible. The sweetest and most attentive people on earth. They are the only reason I renewed my leases. They’re the only pro.
Cons
DO NOT MOVE HERE -Air conditioners NEVER work. I’ve had 11 ACs in 5 yrs. They just swap them from other units. They’re 20 yrs old, always break, and don’t cool anything down. My coned bill is close to $800 /mo. -I am currently stuck with ZERO air flow in my apartment during a heat wave bc they don’t have the resources to fix the acs. This is the fourth time this summer I’ve had my apt at 85+ degrees for multiple days. -Rent is ridiculous for literal crap. They raise rent 35% every lease renewal and upgrade nothing. -Elevators rarely work. Been stuck in them numerous times. Extremely unreliable. -Laundry is atrocious. Destroys my clothes and requires ppl climbing over to unplug them to unlock the machines. -building is outdated and dingy. Carpets smell and are stained. -Business “center” is a joke -The only amenity is the roof top. That’s it. Everything else you have to pay extra for on top of the absurdly high rent. -Related does not care at all about tenants and will threaten you with their legal team if you try to break your lease early for the unhealthy and unsafe living situation they put tenants in. *Everyone is moving out this summer because of the rapid decline of this building. Long standing tenants of 20 yrs can’t stand it any longer. The staff is truly the only positive. Related is a joke and filled disgusting human beings.
Advice to the owners
Find a moral compass and start putting the health and wellbeing of your tenants over profits. Your company is absolute trash and the antithesis of luxury.
Dont rent here
Pros
some lovely front desk and maintenance staff
Cons
A/C units do not work. it's impossible to cool one's apartment. management can't/won't buy new A/C units so they 'repair' these 40 year old units and recycle them. it's a joke. the windows are drafty and poor quality. you can hear every siren and car horn even from high above (50th stories and more up). when it rains, it rains inside too because the windows leak. Elevators are slow and shaky. When it is windy outside the elevators are a public peril. That is how poorly built this building is. The laundry room is disgusting. Most machines are full of mold and mildew, and do not work. You can waste half a day doing laundry because you need to wash things twice. And it's expensive. You regularly have to request refunds for machines that don't work (laundry soap does actually make it into the machine wash, rinsing cycle broken, dryers that don't work and require 3 runs - costing over $8- to dry non bulky items). All management (who are on site) care about is money. And the laundry room isn't their problem, of course. Couldn't care less to repair/maintain the building/units. Many market rate tenants do not renew leases here because of the range of problems and outrageous rent. Some evening door staff couldn't care less about the safety of the building and residents and there was a sudden policy recently established that requires the front door be locked from 11pm-6am and only those with key fobs can enter the building. Imagine what must have happened for that to occur.
Advice to the owners
They are well aware of all of these issues. If they cared they'd do something, but they don't
