Hell on Earth!
Please do not move here if you want a safe & clean environment. This place is absolutely infested with cockroaches and anytime you bring it up to management they gaslight you as if every place has them. On top of that, plumbing is always being shut off and the fire alarm goes off every week. The cleaning crew can't keep up either. I've found underwear laying in the stairwell for weeks and those with dogs let them pee in the lobby. You will regret signing a lease here.
