44 Monroe Apartments

Great community with welcoming staff. Apartment unit was ready for movie-in and maintenance staff was helpful answering all questions.

No hot water no matter what they tell you about the water heater it always breaks. Elevator is always down. And management is trash.

Two months ago, I toured this building. Unit 2201 was shown as available August 1, and I signed a lease for it early June and paid all the deposits. I was told by the leasing agent that the unit was going to be vacated on June 1, and the unit was going to be completely renovated. I expressed my concerns for the tight turnaround for renovations and he assured me it would be done on time. Here we are, 2 weeks away from August 1, and I went in today to take some measurements only to find that they... have not even started renovations. Not only that, but I was told when I viewed the model home that the unit would be a mirror image of the model home, which was not true. The layout was different, without some of the features that attracted me to the model unit. Still earlier today, Mike assured me they would be done on time and even told me the parking space I would be in. Just now, in an email after I spent hours trying to get them on the phone (I had to call the concierge to get them to track him down) he tells me it will not be done on time. So now I am two weeks away from a cross country move and I do not have a place to live. It is absolutely unacceptable that they are so unorganized and flat out lie to their potential tenants. Save your headache and go elsewhere! Read More

The amenities are limited and constantly closed for repairs. I have been a resident for 1 year and the spa/pool has been closed much of that time, not to mention the gym is not 24 hours and you are made to leave out by 10pm.
Management is constantly entering my apartment to check on things and until recently they weren't even giving the 48 hour notice required by law. A plausible reason for this invasion of privacy is never supplied. The price of rent as listed is much more after all fees,... taxes and misc. charges are added in so I would definitely spend my money elsewhere. Read More

Do not be distracted by the panoramic views on the top floors. Read the reviews and make sure you are not reading fake reviews. There’s a list of reasons you should consider moving into this building it’s not worth your money. ( I have been here for over two years)- There has been a change in owners they don’t care about their residents- many residents have left due to the lack of accountability and issues regarding the building including flooding and noise debris from heavy-duty construction... .

1. Grand Peaks has purchased the 44- they rarely or never respond to resident issues. They only have a general number and email. Front office personnel rarely have the capacity to address resident issues.
2. There are no amenities, the hot tub has been under construction for over a year, and now the pool is under construction, Don’t expect to have a pool or hot tub any time soon.
3. With that they don’t extend the hours of the gym.
4. They have heavy-duty construction going on in the building, removing tile with drilling. It’s extremely loud and if you work from home, you will not be able to. They don’t give proper notice and they drill from 8:00 am -5:00 pm.
5. There are multiple floodings that happen in the building, so the carpet in the hallways smells.
6. There will no longer be any panoramic views there is a 47-story building being built that is facing north where the best views are that building is to be completed mid-2024-
