Geary Courtyard Apartments

The toilet still runs.
I still don’t have a mailbox key because my lock didn’t work when I moved in and they had to replace the lock but didn’t think that I now wouldn’t have a mailbox key. I spoke with the mail lady and she said she wouldn’t give my mail to me unless I had a key and told me this happens all the time.
No one showed me how to use the lockers.
I have had things happen on the weekends like my window coming off when trying to open and then gouging the wall and no one to call....
Laundry room is not mainland drawers are full of soap and other things that don’t flush through when people use them so I don’t know what’s going into my clothes. Half of the washing machines are broken or don’t spin dry so I have to do another load in another washer to complete. One of the dryers has a melted plastic rung and looks like it would snag on your clothes. People complaining of cockroaches to me although I haven’t seen any in my place. The foyer smells of garbage. There has been a fire in the laundry room and another fire drill where I had to walk down 14 flights of stairs. The front desk babysitter taking my boxes out of the locker area w out telling me so I called to get a refund on things I didn’t receive only to find out they were put in the back and now I have to call to tell them I did receive them. All this in the first week I have been here. The communication and initial orientation to this place is very poor. It doesn’t take much time to just tell a new person everything up front so we aren’t frustrated and running around like a chicken w its head cut off. Very frustrating and undo stress that I don’t need in my life. Life is hard enough. Read More

Geary Courtyard is an excellent apartment complex to live at!! Everyone who works in the community is very courteous, kind, and helpful.

The apartment offers great amenities such as a beautiful gym, a community laundry room, a small garden with bbq area, and a private parking lot. The location is in downtown making it very convenient to get to places. Public transportation is very accessible as well.

Anyone should consider living here.

Living at Geary Courtyard has been a great experience so far. The location is very convenient, the building is clean and secure, and the staff is friendly and helpful. I’m happy to be part of this community!

Since this new management took over, they don't care noisy at night or quiet hours. I notified to management but she always wipe me off, I am the one one who get lack of sleep at night because keep awake of the noise, un-healthy, I live here for 20 years actually, I was happy because the previous management always attentive. Trash on hallway not been clean for days (because trash cube clogged), I started see bugs in my unit once or twice recently, wet elevator sometimes, also trash in garage not... been cleaned for days. Security some days on duty, some days not. Read More

The apartment building has been plagued by various issues since the new management took over a year ago.

Infestations of cockroaches, flies, and other bugs, particularly in the hallways, especially the 6th floor, are a major problem.

The hallway carpet perpetually stinks due to residents leaving their trash by their doors.

The trash chute is perpetually clogged, forcing residents to limit their trash disposal to the first floor.

Residents have been known to cause false fire alarm panics,... leading to multiple incidents of fire service visits and the imposition of an out-of-service tag on the building for repeated false alarms.

The elevators malfunction continuously, forcing residents to rely on the stairs.

The laundry facilities often have faulty machines, which are inconvenient, especially during peak hours.

The streets outside are perpetually dirty and crowded with people engaged in drug use. Occasionally, drug fumes enter the building through open windows, creating a noisy and unsuitable environment for working from home, even at night.

One particularly unpleasant incident occurred when a resident urinated in the elevators, causing a foul odor that lingered for several days.

Another distasteful occurrence is that the lights in my apartment, which I believe is the case for other apartments that share the same breaker, have been flickering continuously. Most of the time, they shut down during the day and night, which also causes the fridge to turn off, causing food to spoil. This issue has been reported, but the management continues to prioritize other matters and has not fixed it. It’s currently obstructing my work since I primarily work from home.

In summary, you would save your money by not living in this extremely horrible apartment. Read More
