No deposit back
I lived here for almost four years and honestly liked the building itself, but the move-out process really ruined the experience. After moving out, our entire deposit was wiped out and we were told we still owed money. We spent hours cleaning, patching small screw holes, and trying to leave the apartment in good shape. Even then, we were charged for floors, walls, stovetop resurfacing, a vanity drawer, and oven cleaning. In my opinion, most of what they pointed to looked like normal wear and tear after almost four years, not major damage. The frustrating part is that we have not been given clear invoices, or calculations, or proof explaining how they came up with the charges... Future tenants: take photos and videos of EVERYTHING when you move in and move out. Save every email, text, payment record, and document. There were other issues too such as disorganized communication, apartment info mix-ups, my bike stolen from inside the building, and multiple sleepless nights from alarm issues. Management also once sent us a photo from inside the building about cardboard in the trash chute, which felt excessive, very invasive and uncomfortable, especially because it appeared to show another resident in their pajamas and addressed to me implying i was the person in the photo... Overall, I liked living here, but the move-out and deposit process left a really bad impression. I’ll update this review if the issue is resolved fairly.
