106 South Harrison Street

I do not recommend renting an apartment in this building or in other properties owned by Spaxel. I (along with other resident in my building and other spaxel owned properties) have rented with Spaxel for a while with numerous complaints and no change. The most pressing issues are the many homeless people who stay in the hallways and stairwells and the infestation of mice and roaches throughout the building. There have been incidents where residents were harassed and assaulted by homeless people... in the building and multiple reports have been made to the police. Many of the doors to the building are often broken, left open, and unlocked and there is no sufficient security in the building or a live in super. Roaches and garbage are seen daily in the hallways, basement, laundry room and gym. Many apartments do not receive hot water and hot water throughout the entire building is often shut off. The apartments also receive very little heat if any during the winter. There have also been massive leaks and flooding in my apartment and throughout the building but no work has been done to fix the structural integrity of the building (only patch up jobs). The building only has 2 elevators which often break down. The building at a glance looks nice due to some new appliances/fixtures and paint however the building is in need of major updates. These issues have persisted since I moved in a couple years ago and management does nothing to provide safe livable conditions. There is also high turnover of resident managers who are often unresponsive and very unprofessional which makes it very difficult for any progress to be made. Parking is also quite expensive and there is nowhere for guests to park in the parking lot or on the street. The only benefit is the close location to the Brick Church Train Station which can be convenient. All together the apartment is not anywhere near worth the rent they are charging. Please be careful when considering this apartment and Spaxel. Lee mas

I’m a tenant of the building and the crime in East Orange is getting really bad someone broke into my car and stole my vehicle with all of my stuff in it and also kids are smoking weed in the hallyways garbage is all over the basement. Run from this building don’t come.

Spaxel properties. Nice! At first! Absolutely unprofessional an unresponsive!.. They ignore emails and phone calls when you have a complaint. My roof has been leaking all winter thus far. Messing up my wall and floor.It caved in couple years back. The water damage on the wall is making my skin crawl. Floor is swollen and uneven from water damage. many apartments have similar water leakage issues/ appliances. Kids are falling/ tripping.Still no response. Over 8 empty apartments. ?? Says a lot!... Don't trust them they don't have their tenants interest at heart! Lee mas

This property is very nice. The management is very responsive and is there when needed.

This place is trash. I literally lived in an apartment with a caved in roof that they kept patching over, a sink that smelled like rotten eggs from gas emitting and mold growing in my carpet. Their buildings also has constant problems with the elevator, intercom system and does not clean as much as they should (in the summer the elevator will be filled with flies from letting the garbage from the chute fill up beyond capacity. If you have problems with your apartment, you will have to stalk... them in order for them to fix it which in most cases, they won't. Now that I finally saved up enough money to vacate, they will not return my security deposit. Everyone has problems with them so Avoid. If I could post videos and pictures on here I would. Lee mas
