Highly recommend exploring other options
I have lived here for four years, but unfortunately I can no longer recommend this property.
For the past couple of months, I’ve had ongoing A/C issues that management has failed to resolve. Yes, cool air comes out of the vents, but it’s so weak that my apartment regularly reaches the 80s during the day. My A/C has been running virtually nonstop for nearly two months, and it still can’t maintain a livable temperature.
I work 12-hour days, so I don’t have the ability to constantly stay home... waiting for maintenance or repeatedly follow up on the same issue. Meanwhile, my dog is left in an apartment that becomes unbearably hot because this problem has been allowed to continue for months.
What has been even more frustrating is how the situation has been handled. Maintenance has entered my apartment without notice, and on one occasion walked in while my fiancée was in the shower. That is a serious invasion of privacy and completely unacceptable.
Rather than fixing the issue, maintenance has repeatedly come in, looked around for a few minutes, and told me everything is “working” while the apartment continues to overheat. At this point, it feels like more effort has gone into documenting the thermostat than actually solving the problem.
I’ve attached photos showing the apartment temperature while a portable A/C unit is running in addition to the apartment’s A/C system, as well as a photo of maintenance documenting the thermostat. The pictures speak for themselves.
After four years of living here, I expected better communication, respect for residents’ privacy, and maintenance that actually resolves problems instead of repeatedly telling residents everything is fine when it clearly isn’t. I rarely leave negative reviews, but prospective tenants deserve to know what they’re signing up for.
