The Warren Apartments

The ongoing use of strong fragrances and high-VOC products in the hallways and common areas has become a concern under the current management. The management allows these scents to be used so heavily in the common areas and the package room that it becomes difficult to breathe and causes reactions. Despite being informed about the health implications, the management continues to allow the use of these products. The American Lung Association states: "Air fresheners and other strongly scented... products can contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), gases that are emitted into the air from products or processes, and other harmful chemicals. The inhalation of VOCs has negative effects on the respiratory system, and individuals can have different reactions." The ALA also advises: "Request policy changes... to reduce or eliminate strong chemical-based products used during cleaning and maintenance of shared spaces such as cleaning products, air fresheners and aerosols."

This place is about 50% Airbnb type units. They rent to individuals and “companies” who use the units for short terms rentals. Random people in and out day and night. NO security for residents. Staff is almost NEVER in, they don’t respond to texts or emails or phone calls. Parking garage is $300/month and you have a few inches of space between you and the spot(s) next to. Dirty building, dog hair in elevators, dog POOP on rugs outside the elevator doors. Overpriced, hundreds of $ in fees monthly... tacked on to rent. No one to contact if issues arise. Lee mas

Ignore padded reviews. Had 11 apts. ALL had plumbing issues. Incompetent staff, & HUGE fees. Expect sewage farts monthly smelling up your place from backed up gas lines. Poorly constructed. Elevators constantly out of service.

The location is sort of good and at first glance, it seems reasonable, especially when they offer you "free rent"... but alas nothing in life is free. Move in "charges" fully mitigate any rent credits and rental agency has 100's of fees and "reimbursements" they off load on their tenants instead of accepting them as a cost of running an apartment building (e.g. keeping lights on in the hallways), leaving the tenants to pay over 22% more a month than the lease indicates. They advertise parking,... but a spot in the garage is not available for years because they are claimed by the apartments the rental agency uses as AirBnbs, "Corporate leases", and staff.

I toured a lot of buildings in downtown Spokane and most of the other places were old and tired. The Warren was by far the nicest place I saw. I'm obsessed with the Co-Op and its literally across the street. SO excited to move in!
