The building's historic charm and prime downtown location, combined with standout leasing staff like Christopher and Jeffrey, draw people in. Once residents move in, they encounter a pattern of serious problems: repeated water damage, persistent roach infestations, a frequently non-functional garage elevator, and common areas fouled by homelessness and poor upkeep. When issues surface, management rarely follows through or shows urgency, leaving residents frustrated and feeling unheard. New management in late 2024 appears to have improved the leasing experience and some residents report better maintenance responsiveness since then. However, older complaints about systemic infrastructure failures, including plumbing failures and pest control lapses, continue to surface. The gap between the five-star leasing experience and the one-to-two-star living experience is stark.
