I lived here for a year and as soon as my lease was done I was more than happy to be done with this place. Even the super at the time talked about how vicious and cruel the management company was and gave me different advices to get away from their vices! I was assaulted in the apartment and the police and fire department was called not by me but by one of their employees in the building because I was also locked out of the apartment from my assulter. The firefighters tried to kick the door in which created a minor dent in the door where the lock was. I tried to have the issue fixed because I spent 5 months without being able to lock my own door. I then had to pay the super directly to fix the door because managemt would have made me pay for the entire door even though through the cameras they witnessed the entire incident. I figured better $500 vs $2,000. I started to have roaches in the apartment I kept super clean as well and getting an exterminator just made it worse. They did nothing to resolve that. Because of injuries I was unable to work so I fell behind on rent but would make small payments they threatened to take me to court so I had no choice but to take a loan out in order to pay them in full. This is not a company that cares about its residents they just want rent checks and no complaints. I didn t get my full deposit back either even though the apartment was left in top shape. They received a return payment from my roommates account and instead of fighting with the bank and providing clear receipts plus additional proof I had of the authorized payment they just took it from my deposit. They are very rude all the time their last priority is to help. I was being charged $2,100 for a 2 bed at 653 sqft when really it should have been a 1bed and a den. The apartment was originally a 1 bed but they renovated and placed a kitchen in the living room to create an open concept living/kitchen look and the 2nd room which was the smallet space ever with no closet in the bedroom originally was the kitchen. They wanted to then for that small space raise the rent by $150.00 just because it looked nice . The elevator constantly wasn t working then we spent weeks without a door buzzer system, neighbors steal packages and management will be able to see who did it through the cameras but will not seek legal action for you they just let you know it s not their concern. Horrible horrible horrible experience. 2015 Foster Avenue..... DO NOT DO IT...the apartment may look nice but it s not worth the space or the money. $2100 and only 3 closets with 2 being in the hallway!!! DONT SIGN A LEASE HERE!!!
