It was almost 100° out, I'd worked a mandatory 16 hour shift and was sound asleep naked in my room! I barely got covered before Ryan was unlawfully inside my living room. - my brand new car was keyed, and a year later, someone sideswiped it. They couldn't/didn't bother to review surveillance video because the first time the cameras were out of order and they only record for 24 hours, then the footage is gone. - I've had three packages stolen from the entry foyer in as many months, so there's apparently a dirty rotten thief here somewhere - all of the carpets in the hallway are covered in huge dog urine and feces stains. Because of this I'm embarrassed to even have company - I've been here four years and they haven't even thought about fixing maintenance issues (I have several faulty outlets, the floor is eroded in my bathroom since I moved in, and my faucets drip terribly) - they state that your deposit is non-refundable, which isn't legal in NYS. Save yourself some trouble and find a different place! I'm now disabled, but the minute I can afford to, I'm gone. If the owner wants to discuss details, I'll be happy to share them with you; Ryan should know who/where I am.

Although this apartment complex has outdated interior, it's clean. That's the good part. The…read moreother good part is that the rent is low, $575 for a one bedroom apt in 2013. But, beware of the following: - The laundry room appliances do not work well. The dryers cannot dry towels. - The lease requires you to move out about 1 week before the end of your last month, even though you will be required to pay the full month rent, - The landlord comes across a nice old lady, but she is a shark and will find every way possible to not return your security deposit. I was blamed for leaks in windows and leaks in ceiling which were issues with the building itself, not caused by misuse of my apt. - The landlord old does a walk-thru and picks for everything. My wife spent hours cleaning every cupboard, every appliance, and the bathroom and even though the place was spotless, the landlord told my wife that the stave was not clean. She didn't say this during the walk-thru, she said it when we called her a couple weeks later to ask about the status of our security deposit. I suppose that I feel a little better in knowing that I am not the only renter to be screwed by the old lady. Earlier today I looked on apartment ratings.com and saw about half-dozen people saying that had the same experience. Well, I guess I should have researched before renting the place. Anyway, I feel better letting you know of this and hopefully preventing others from the same. If you feel compelled to rent from her, then at least do yourself a favor and do not pay the last month rent. That way you will at least not be screwed out of your security deposit. Happy renting. :-)

Having a significant other stay over a 1-2 nights a week, that will cost you an extra $50/month. Upon leaving, I requested a walk-through by the landlord twice (this should be mandatory). I did not receive this but was assured by Bill that I would have no problems because he had seen the apartment and had taken good care of the apartment. I was charged a cleaning fee. They sent the returned security deposit back to their own apartment rather than my new address. Many more concerns, these were just a few of them! Would not recommend this apartment complex. I have never had any of these issues at other complexes.
