The Modern Apartamentos

Just stay away from The Modern and ERCT Property Management. Your home should be a place where you can find peace after a long day, I promise you this isn't the place. The building is cheaply put together and not as advertised. Sometimes the fire alarms go off multiple times a week, day and night. They state in their lease that smoking is prohibited, but they do a terrible job of enforcing those rules. Often when you walk around the halls and the stairwells you smell marijuana. If it's not that,... then multiple times a moving truck ran into the fire system outside and damaged it which set it off uncontrollably.
The superintendent, his wife, and the other employees are great people and try their best, the problem is the management company. When there is an issue, it's hard to get in touch with them. Then when I finally did after a few weeks, they told me one thing to try and suppress me, but when it was time for them to deliver on their words, they wouldn't. They pretended to care when I informed them the fire alarms made my disabilities worse, but their actions showed the opposite. If I didn't educate myself on my rights to reasonable accommodations, threaten to make complaints to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the New Jersey Division on Civil Rights for failure to provide reasonable accommodation, and stand up for myself, I would still be in that hell. It's sad that instead of fining or trying to evict the people who set off the alarms, break the smoking policy, and make the building untenable for everyone else, they would rather fight me and keep my deposit. They only care about your money.
I can't imagine what it's like to have a newborn or young children in this building, the constant alarms may damage their eardrums and leave them with childhood trauma. Their prices are fair, but it's one of the few ways they can attract people to their property. They don't require you to make 2.5x or 3x rent like all the other legitimate properties. Look at the other reviews before you decide, there are more on Google. Even if it costs you a little more to live somewhere else, the extra money is not worth the health and sanity of you and your family.

The superintendent (And staff) is kind, keeps the property clean and extremely helpful.

Water damage in ceiling throughout the building. Alarm goes off frequently throughout the day. Building smells like sewage sometimes. Multiple maintenance requests gone ignored for weeks. If they can't keep up now, how will they manage when the building is full? Can't wait to be done with school so I can leave.

Building is full of faculty with nasty attitudes. The fire alarm goes off in the entire building daily 4-6am. The lobby smells like sewer water. Also, everything is cheap from washer to dishwasher to sink to kitchen! Save yourself the headache
