I rarely leave negative reviews, but I believe prospective tenants deserve complete transparency…read moreregarding my experience. On March 19, I notified management that, due to health reasons, I needed to terminate my lease early. They agreed to allow me to vacate on July 31, with the understanding that I would remain responsible for the rent until the apartment was re-rented. I accepted those terms because I knew how fortunate I had been to secure this apartment at $1,995 per month, with heat and hot water included, at 135 Quincy Ave. What I find particularly troubling is that, over the course of nearly four months, the apartment was shown only twice before eventually being rented for the end of August--at a higher monthly rent than I had been paying. Given the amount of time available to market the unit, I find it difficult to reconcile such minimal showing activity with the expectation that I should bear the resulting financial obligation. While I genuinely appreciated the opportunity to live here, my experience with management has been profoundly disappointing. From my perspective, there was an insufficient and lackadaisical effort to mitigate any potential losses, while the financial repercussions have been disproportionately transferred to me. I believe landlords should conduct themselves with professionalism, diligence, and accountability, particularly when a tenant has acted in good faith throughout the process. I will allow the legal process to determine whether those obligations were fulfilled.

Micozzi in Quincy, MA…read more We lived there for one year and it was the worst experience I ever had. Despite the fact they did renovations in the units living there was a nightmare. My car got towed away because I got a temporary sticker for one month and then I was supposed to use my permamnent sticker. They towed my car on the night from 31st to 1st day because probably I had to wake up at night and change spots. Management didn't even fully reimburse the tow service which cost $150 and I got only $100 back. Neighbours are loud, we couldn't sleep many nights bwecause of the all sorts of noises. Mice issue is huge. They are everywhere. This is non-smoking building and it seemed some people didn't care at all. Someone downstairs was smoking pot all the time and smoke was going into my windows. As a cherry on top we got flood and fire in our unit because of the work they did outside on the balconies. Not a great experience I would say when you have to clean all the stuff after. I'm glad management reimbursed the cost of that damage. However if you don't mind all mentioned above you can apply and get nice 2bd unit for around 2500 + included utilities.

Faxon Commons demonstrates a systemic pattern of severe maintenance neglect, tenant harassment,…read moreprivacy violations, pest infestations, and active retaliation against tenants exercising their legal rights. When residents report active plumbing emergencies or file court motions against management, property staff actively ignore emergency lines, dismiss active water leaks as "non-emergencies," and refuse basic repairs to penalize tenants ahead of scheduled court proceedings. Key Issues & Incidents: 1. Active Retaliation & Maintenance Refusals Ahead of August 11 Court Hearing Ignored Plumbing Emergencies & Refusal of Service: Management is actively refusing essential repairs in retaliatory response to an ongoing court case (scheduled for August 11). Bathroom Sink Failure & Flooding: After four years of living in the unit, the bathroom sink handle completely detached, rendering the water impossible to shut off. For over a month, I have been forced to manually manipulate the exposed mechanism by hand to control the water flow. Dishwasher Malfunctions: The dishwasher continuously floods standing water at the bottom and fails to release detergent pods during cycles. Office Dismissal & Emergency Line Ghosting: When reported, Judy from the leasing office dismissively claimed that an uncontrollable water flow and broken sink handle were "not an emergency" and instructed me to call the emergency maintenance line. A voicemail was left on the emergency line last week, yet management has completely failed to respond or dispatch help. 2. Presumption of Retaliation & Pretextual Eviction Actions Retaliation for Code Enforcement: After months of management ignoring falling ceiling debris and structural hazards, formal complaints to the Quincy Health Department resulted in city inspectors citing Faxon Commons for State Sanitary Code violations. Retaliation for Legal Motions & Rent Withholding: Following formal requests for reasonable accommodations (M.G.L. c. 151B) for a disabled veteran, 50% rent abatement demands, and lawful rent withholding (M.G.L. c. 239, § 8A), Faxon Commons retaliated within 30 days by initiating a pretextual eviction action--violating state anti-retaliation laws (M.G.L. c. 239, § 2A). 3. Structural Hazards: Ceiling & Balcony Deterioration Untouched Structural Damage: Falling ceiling debris left particulate matter inside the apartment for over six months, remaining untouched until health citations forced action. Exposure caused recurring eye rashes and skin irritation requiring VA-prescribed treatment. Surface Cosmetics Over Safety: Management prioritized loud, disruptive exterior construction and lobby remodeling over resolving active interior leaks and falling drywall. 4. Toxic Fumes & Maintenance/Contractor Misconduct Chemical Fume Exposure: Contractors conducted ceiling priming with all windows sealed shut, flooding the apartment with heavy chemical fumes that caused severe throat burning and caused my pet cat to vomit repeatedly. Contractor Misconduct: Unvetted contractors entered unannounced to use the private bathroom, spent hours hanging out on FaceTime, displayed open hostility when asked about timelines, and angrily threw tools into vehicles before storming off. Lock Failures: Negligent repair work left front door locks jammed/stuck, physically trapping me inside my apartment, while main lobby buzzers remained broken for days. 5. Staff Misconduct, Disrespect & Systemic Stigma Move-In Disrespect & Prejudiced Culture: Staff mocked me over the phone on move-in day, leaving us with soaked carpets upon arrival. Management consistently displays a condescending attitude toward housing tenants who speak up. Privacy Breaches & Mismanagement: Staff handed over an exposed refund check without an envelope, displaying my full legal name, home address, and financial data in public view. During an off-site hotel displacement for repairs, management failed to oversee the stay, leading to an unwarranted police removal without staff intervention or advocacy. 6. Pest Infestations & Common Area Biohazards Unaddressed Infestations: Persistent roach infestations were met with dismissive excuses from pest control, while maintenance brushed off mice invading from hallway closets by claiming "they just like to play". Unsanitary Common Areas: Hallways and stairwells regularly contained urine, feces, bodily fluids, and discarded needles. On-site laundry facilities were perpetually broken, dirty, and contaminated with pet hair and waste. 7. Safety Deficiencies & Harassment Unaddressed Predatory Intimidation: Management ignored reports of male residents engaging in predatory behavior and staring down female residents in common areas. Theft & Security Neglect: Management took no action when security cameras captured a resident stealing personal laundry, claiming nothing could be done.Faxon Commons demonstrates complete institutional failure. Between active retaliation ahead of court dates, ignoring
