This building is very poorly managed. The pool was supposed to open by Memorial Day. It’s two days after 4th of July and it still hasn’t happened. But you know what has happened? The AC has gone out, and the water (several times), and the washing machines, and I’ve also been stuck in the elevator. Yep, discovered just how claustrophobic I am at 50. Steer clear.
