The Residences on 56th Street Apartamentos

I just relocated here from Texas and I love the beautiful wooden setting of the apartments. Driving through newer streets without potholes, and exterior lighting, makes this place feel so safe at night. I know no place is perfect especially in apartment living, but I can see the changes since the first of the year, out with old and in with the new, and I have met many neighbors that I am meeting at the gym/clubhouse who love the improvements. Friendly people and friendly pets. The leasing and... maintenance staff are welcoming and friendly too. Lee mas

Moved in about a month ago and there has been problem after problem since I got the keys. Management and staff communication is so poor, I wrote a 5 page letter to the property explaining all issues and still had to explain to atleast 4 people what the issues were. My car was broken into a couple weeks ago. The gave us a new unit do to the first one have so many mantainence issues that they couldn't resolve them, and we were forced to move ALL OVER AGAIN. The beautiful amenities you see are... usually unaccessible, as this complex has over 700 units. No exaggeration. And our AC is still not working after they were said to have fixed the "small" problem with it. It's 108 degrees out... And we have no working AC, no offer of a solution and no guarantee to safety. Save yourself the headache and keep looking. Lee mas

I absolutely would not recommend living here after staying here for a year and a half! This is multiple issues going on with my unit that the property manager refuses to address.

My neighbor’s washing machine keeps draining into my unit causing my bathroom to floor and leak downstairs. The maintenance decided to address this by pouring a bottle of my personal drano down the drain instead of getting to the root cause of the issue. They left a drying machine in my unit for a week, which shut off... the first night. With no instructions, or any follow up. We tried to contact the head of maintenance, Rich, but he never answered or returned calls. Due to flooding multiple times the flooring has began to buckle and come completely detached in certain areas. The property has not addressed the floor repairs at all. in addition to the water damage areas the flooring across the whole unit is uneven, loosening and buckling.

We’ve been trying to getting AC fixed since the end of april. The property decided that it would have to be 85 degrees for 3 consecutive days or May 15th whichever is first. I got my AC “fixed” on May 16th and only worked for 2 hours before it started blowing hot air. Maintenance came out again on the 20th and the AC only blowed cool air for 1 day. Since then they have not been out fix it. I’ve had to live in a 80+ degree house for 3 weeks. I’ve called over 5 times to have AC fixed with no avail. The maintenance on this property do not truly fix the root cause of issue they are just temporary fixes. Last year we were promised a new AC unit but we still have the old unit that continues to break.

The Cabinets are poorly put together in the kitchen. wood along the base of the cabinets is beginning to split, and the door to one of the cabinets was not latched properly so the door is crooked. One of the drawers completely came apart just from everyday use.

With the cost of rent I would except better workmanship, as wel as getting unit repaired in a timely manner.

Please consider elsewhere to live. Residences on 56th St is not worth your money or frustration. The apartment look good at first. Once you start to actually live everyday life in the unit things start to fall apart. Lee mas

I have not had air conditioning in my apartment since July 17… And it’s going on 40 days and counting without air conditioning. They HAVE NOT GIVEN ME A SINGLE UPDATE except for that it will be finished the next day…. 40 days later in 100 degree heat I am still sweating 24/7. My apartment has not been prioritized “because there are hotter apartments”. Do NOT move here. They do not contact you or give you any info except for rent and when they mysteriously are out of the office for days at a time... . Lee mas

Listen to the reviews, I have been in my apartment since April .. issue after issue . I have had an leaky ceiling that comes from bathroom upstairs to downstairs. The light fixture in kitchen had moisture in it to point it stopped working. Now the ceiling keeps bubbling I have been putting in working request for month and a half ! No responses . I had to call emergency line just to get some out that only told me they would come back out and NEVER came. I now have a bad smell in the apartment... from the moisture. The updates are a joke just painted over lot stuff that really needed to be sanded. Had leaky sinks , ant problems. Maintenance doesn’t respond unless your moving in ! Only time I see maintenance is trying to get a new resident in not to help the current residents. Save yourself time and headache . Thought I was getting an nice update unit but no so many issues that should have been corrected with these Apts but were painted over Lee mas
