I came to visit my son in his new apartment shortly after he moved into 800, (one of the newly renovated luxury apartments) to find among the MANY problems with his apartment was that clicking on a light in the middle of the night made the cockroaches scramble for cover. On walls, in the new carpet, ceilings, cabinets. My husband discovered there was NO wall behind the kitchen sink cabinet, the bathroom sink cabinet, and nothing but an open wall behind the new range!! Just a big hole where roaches and rodents could creep right in. Im sure they just travel floor to floor, in and out, all night long. I cant imagine this is even legal but I have no reason to believe this building or his apartment was ever inspected by anyone.
The leasing office told him the original contractor was fired and hed be put on a list to have these holes addressed. A list? So...live with roach infestation in the meantime? They said they were treating the whole building as well, which seemed to have just chased them into my sons entire apartment, through the open walls. As expected, our next visit and not a thing had been fixed and there was NO hot water. The Manager said the hot water problem was being worked on, but still no appointment to fix the roach hotel. I came across a man who I noticed repeatedly pacing up and down our floor and the lobby talking on his cell about how he has no contractors or suppliers, noone was getting paid, everyone was pulling off site, and his projects are all going to ****. Thinking he might be a contractor I I told him I wanted this apartment fixed or would contact health services. He said he represented the owners and would go to the management office and get something done immediately. He couldnt tell me when, who, and fidgeted around stuttering like a child when I asked his name. Bad sign but I was hopeful finally something would be done.
As expected, nothing took place to fix anything and according to a maintenance person I saw in the elevator the latest contractor who was going back and fixing these things was no longer involved and who knows when anyone will get around to it.. Really?? What a nightmare!! I told him I spoke to a person who was an owner and going to get it fixed immediately and he said that was probably Scot (?) and Id need to talk to the leasing office. This place is just pathetic !! Id would've asked his neighbors if they have the same problems but they had all moved out.
If you like rampant roaches and bedbugs, no hot water, filth and trash in your halls, stairwells and laundry room, constant water leaks, completely unresponsive management and maintenance, ZERO security, unkept promises, all at luxury pricing, then theres an apartment available that we got the hell out of. Dont fall for the pretty rooftop pool and glued down knick knacks!! Yes, they actually super glue the dollar store vases to the Ikea tables in the luxury clubroom.Evidently these owners arent going to lose a dime on drywall, paying their bills, or missing plastic vases.very very bad experience!!
