Repairs and work orders drag
Residents describe maintenance that can be slow or unresolved.

Security and concierge coverage concerns
Residents raise concerns about security and building access.
Some reviews describe the concierge/front desk coverage as limited or no longer operating like advertised, which residents connect to issues with package theft and after-hours access. Other accounts mention concerns ranging from vagrants or people sleeping in common areas to worries about doors not functioning properly and unclear access controls. A few reviews praise specific concierge staff, but the broader theme is that safety-related coverage feels unreliable to many residents.
