Management are Crooks, literally

Pros

The building itself is gorgeous in design and idea, but a bit lacking on execution. Nice fixtures and amenities though. Apartments are large.

Cons

Management is terrible. Actually criminal as the previous leasing agent embezzled 10,000$ from the building. Not surprising though, considering the funds that were embezzled were probably generated through the illegal short term rental units. It must be a challenge to keep track of illegal moneys earned, right? They discriminate and don’t allow certain people to use the amenities. They enter units when residents are not home.
