Access, gate, and elevator reliability concerns
Reviews raise recurring concerns about gate access and elevator uptime.
A recurring theme is that building access systems don’t work dependably, with reports of residents and visitors being locked out or needing others to let them in. Elevator breakdowns come up repeatedly too, including situations where residents—especially those who use wheelchairs—couldn’t easily get around. Several reviewers also connect these issues with broader safety worries, including concerns about security and who can access the property after hours.
