    Poor management

    Management is awful. They don’t care about complaints and it takes multiple emails to hear anything back. I’ve complained about multiple things like the trash overflowing, a tenant smoking 2 doors down, water at the bottom of the stairs of which I fell in and was promised they would fix it but nothing was done. The refrigerator, washing machine and AC was broken plus the apartment was filthy when I moved in. I was told someone thought my tv was too loud and had management send me some clause… about drugs and drug dealing, guns and nothing about my TV being loud. That’s just sloppy and offensive. The only thing that I like is that there’s a dog park right out the side door and I have a very anxious dog that will only go there. Most of my friends here complain about the management. It’s a nice looking building. The only reason I gave 2 star’s is for the awesome maintenance and front desk people.
