? - since you asked : my brother DID NOT RECEIVE HIS MAIL KEY for 3 MONTHS UPON MOVING IN . Thats unprofessional on so many levels . Twice now I've used the elevator in the building & there are people smoking cigarettes INDOORS STICKING UP ENTIRE FLOORS
There's usually some tweaker outside LEAVING TRASH building.
I RECOMMEND HIRING A SECURITY GUARD TO MAKE SURE THIS PLACE IS SAFE. I fear for my family.
Epic timing

Most everyone who lives here are decent well-meaning neighbors. My experience w/ mgmt & maintenance has met my expectations. I’ve been here for about 5 yrs and for the most part feel listened to & treated respectfully. Sorry to hear that some people have had very difft types of interactions.
I’ve lived in lots of various places from low income, to renting homes, sometimes just rooms & even attics in shared-housing. It has been hard in the past to find the perfect living situation (incl me as a tenant) but I am happy I’ve stayed here for a while.
