Safety and cleanliness get mixed

Several residents describe unsafe conditions and serious security concerns within the building.

Some residents say the building is no longer safe, pointing to issues like mold, pests, and threats from other residents. There are also complaints about privacy and staff behavior, including reported use of master keys and residents being told visitors must leave. A few residents counter that the building is clean, but safety-related complaints recur across multiple reviews.

Some residents praise cleanliness

A couple of residents mention the building and areas feeling clean.

A few reviews specifically call out cleanliness, including comments about the building being clean and a renovated or well-kept space for services. These positives show up alongside other, more negative maintenance and condition concerns, so it does not appear universal.

Security checks at entrances

Residents point to entrance monitoring and door sign-in as a security benefit.

One resident mentions a doorman process with ID sign-in, and another highlights security monitoring at the front door and in elevators. At the same time, a different reviewer says there are no security guards on certain days, which may contribute to the mixed feel around safety.
