DO NOT SIGN AT AUDEN BUFFALO
BIOHAZARD CONDITIONS, UNSAFE, IRRESPONSIBLE MANAGEMENT
i've been a resident at Auden Buffalo for 2 years and currently stuck in a renewal
pros:
1. it WAS affordable
cons
1. EXTREMELY UNSANITARY
floors would go uncleaned for weeks at a time. when they are mopped, they are not efficiently dried leaving mold streaks down the halls.
garbage rooms overflow, doors unable to shut with trash bags out in the hall, on all floors of the building. the stench would be nauseating passing the trash rooms, even airing out the front doors would not relieve the smell. it would reek of garbage in the parking lots.
2. NOT PET FRIENDLY
"pet waste only" canisters are located on the furthest ends of the lot, each about a 3 minute walk away from the front entrance. these canisters are changed every 3-4+ weeks and people fill them with trash leaving BIOHAZARDOUS DEGRADING FECES BAGS on the sidewalk.
- pet waste bags are not allowed in any of the other trash cans within the complex including within the gated patio area and they would charge a fee if pet bags are discarded anywhere else. although they told me used condoms, vomit, and dirty underwear are okay inside of the trash cans.
3. UNSAFE ENVIRONMENT
UNSALTED PARKING LOTS AND SIDEWALKS
considering the buffalo snow storms, parking lots DO get plowed eventually but never salted. only the front entrance was shoveled and salted, sidewalks into the building were made of icy footsteps, never shoveled which led to slips and falls. slips occurred frequently when driving in the narrow parking lot making it around corners or into the garage extremely unsafe
NO HOT WATER
for 2+ months this past winter there was NO hot water. showers were barely lukewarm and uncomfortable. Auden Buffalo had received a fine from the State of Health for this violation.
- to this day, showers are hit or miss. some days i'll get a hot shower that is JUST satisfactory on the maximum heat setting, or i'll have a lukewarm shower again.
POWER OUTAGE
after a windstorm, power was cut from the apartment leaving residents with no hot water, heat, electricity or wifi for 24 hours when we were promised a generator. they did offer to shuttle us to air buffalo if we wanted pizza as a warm meal
4. IRRESPONSIBLE MANAGEMENT
the management have no control over how many pets somebody can own or how behaved they are. I WAS ATTACKED BY 4 SMALL DOGS which left me limping to sit down and permanent scars on my legs. the dogs were in the patio off of their leashes and i wanted to go outside and the dogs immediately bolted towards me and started barking aggressively and jumping on me, tearing down my pants and leaving me bleeding and bruised.
- they told me to contact animal control if i wanted something to be done but they could only tell the owners to behave the dogs
5. MANAGEMENT IS NOT THERE WHEN YOU NEED THEM.
there used to be at least out of office hours for the phone and if you needed help someone could assist you. now, if the office is closed you need to leave a message. this is very dangerous because if there is an emergency out of office hours, there is nobody to contact. out of office, the main lobby is unkept with packages and trash laying out.
6. PATHETIC?
the amount of complaints Auden Buffalo was receiving this winter had management sending an AUDEN TO AIR BUFFALO DEAL if you wanted out asap, just to trap you in another lease. grow up. read more
