Apartments @ 1220

I would give this property 0/5 stars if possible. The property manager (PM) is disrespectful and does not care about tenants. If you are not a Temple student
you will be treated as subhuman and left to deal with sewage from upstairs apartments leaking into yours and damaging your personal property, if you're not a student I suggest you lie and say you are because he believes only Temple students are worth having their requests being taken care of as their parents are better suited to sue this... man and the company for his wrongdoings. The PM does not respond to maintenance requests or reports and instead tried lying until I showed him email and video proof of damage as it was occurring. Do not trust this man and do not do any dealings with him in person or via phone, keep a record of everything (record it or do it by email)! Additionally, make sure to read your lease, PM tried giving me a bill for over a thousand when water leaked in from another apartment. As of March 2022 this building is falling apart with sewage leaks, garage doors that don't lock and allow anyone entry to the building for months, noisy tenants, no lights in the hallways for weeks, and horrible service. The only saving grace is the daytime concierge staff who actually care about their job and tenants, they are too good for this place. The overnight staff is just as bad as the lying PM. Lee mas

0 stars!!! property manager is the absolute worst and such a liar. building is falling a part and they ignore all requests. save yourself the misery and live else where so you are not stuck with an early termination fee. Wish I never moved in

I'm not a negative person...I *wish* I could say better things about this building, but after a year-and-a-half, I feel I owe prospective residents the truth.
This is a very old building that does not hesitate to show its age; Water leaks everywhere; Intermittent operation of elevators; Building heat is NOT sufficient for deep winter in the northeast; NO A/C, it's BYOWindowUnit here; *mice*, the garbage chute regularly backs up; management is 100% hands-off - I've never even met one of the... staff; the dirtiest, loudest, most inconsiderate neighbors you can imagine (not all, to be fair, but the terrible ones overshadow the sweet ones); the surrounding neighborhood is filthy and depressing.

I blame myself for my misery here - I failed to properly inspect the building and the local area before I moved because I was in a hurry.

Positives: The building concierge is the most helpful and amiable gentleman you will ever meet; the fitness room is recently renovated with newER equipment; the area is walkable with all the transit access you could want; it's CHEAP ( until you go month to month in preparation to move out).

I can't tell anyone not to move here. There are any number of reasons why one would choose to do so. Just don't make the mistake I did and rent here in haste. Walk the area, tour the building, MEET THE MANAGERS, scrutinize EVERYTHING, and only then decide if it's the place for you (if you do those things, you'll likely decide it isn't). Thanks for reading.

ceiling and walls leak everytime it rains! its been more than a year of complaining and submitting maintenance requests. they just close them and say its completed while doing nothing. finally they are saying they cant do anything and just keep paying rent????

Maintenance crew is nice but can't keep up with all the issues with the old building. Windows are not sealed off well which affects cooling/heating. When it rains heavily, water leaks considerably through them. Heating is not always regulated the best way (heating would stay on although it is quite warm or it wouldn't start soon enough on colder days).
Because of some glitch in the system fire alarms are sometimes starting (there was a week when they'd start every morning at certain time).
I... had problems with mice in the apartment as well. They have serious issue with little bugs and pest control company they cooperate with can't really help out with it (apparently they like humidity and old floors in apartments). I found solution I was recommended on how to get rid of them particularly funny (put infested books/items in freezer). Lee mas
