Parking lot next door used for concerts.
I currently live in the building. The parking lot next to the building is used repeatedly as a concert venue (even during the week both before and after business hours). As I type this review, in fact, there is a heavy metal rock band playing with loud speakers vibrating my floor. I asked building management for a discount on my rent while these concerts happen (they gave us no notice before renting that there would be concerts next door), and he denied it. He did offer I use the business room... in the building, but it is infeasible for everyone in the building to do so. And besides, that does not change the fact that the rooms are unusable for any sort of quiet enjoyment when these concerts happen.
Do not live here if you are a professional or student who needs quiet to work. There are plenty of buildings blocks away that do not face the same nuisance.
The price of the building does not reflect this issue, so when you compare prices to other buildings nearby take this into account.
The sad thing is, I love everything else about the building. If the building had been reasonable with me on this concert issue, I would have nothing but glowing things to say.
