Amenities overshadowed by serious ongoing issues and poor management
The HW ICLG offers attractive amenities, but the day-to-day experience here is extremely frustrating due to ongoing issues with management and building maintenance.
While the new property manager has been communicative, the prior manager was highly unresponsive, often taking over a week to reply. The leasing office is frequently closed with the shades drawn, making it difficult to address concerns.
Cleanliness has become a major issue, especially with all the construction. Common areas and the... garage are constantly covered in dust and debris, and our cars in the garage are coated with dirt from construction activity. Despite management’s communication that construction workers would use a designated elevator during business hours, the elevator has been frequently shut off or inaccessible outside of those hours—sometimes extending through weekends. The construction team has also been using the alternate elevator, making it difficult for residents to move through the building.
Trash collection is poorly managed, with clogged chutes and waste piling up. Additionally, there are safety hazards throughout the property that have been ignored by management, despite numerous complaints. When we escalated urgent fire and life safety concerns to the regional VP, her response came days later, even though she had promised quicker responses for urgent matters. Neighbors have also reported leaks from the rooftop into their homes and package theft, with packages left unprotected in the lobby.
The boiler has failed multiple times, resulting in hot water outages, and the water shut-offs have become a regular inconvenience. These issues have persisted for months, and it’s clear from other reviews that poor communication and responsiveness from management are ongoing problems.
Living here has felt like being stuck in a construction zone for two months, with constant noise, false fire alarms, and restricted access to guest parking and amenities like the rooftop pool. Package management is virtually non-existent, and residents are left to deal with the consequences of theft and disorganization.
While the new manager seems to be working hard to improve things, the issues are extensive, and the current state of the building is far from what you would expect from a luxury apartment community.
