Overall Review of Riverside Plaza

caveat 8 reviews mention this

Pest problems come up repeatedly

Residents describe frequent pest issues, including roaches and bed bugs.

Multiple reviews describe infestations, with repeated mentions of roaches, mice, and bed bugs. Several residents say they had to discard belongings or feel stuck dealing with the problem. Other reviews argue pests are hard to eliminate in older buildings and describe ongoing recurring treatment.

caveat 5 reviews mention this

Package theft is a recurring complaint

Residents frequently report missing packages around the mail area.

A number of reviews say packages get stolen or go missing in or near the mail room, leading residents to worry and keep checking. Some describe large backlogs by the mail boxes, which they link to delivery mix-ups and not receiving items. Others specifically suggest adding or improving security in the mail area.

caveat 4 reviews mention this

Elevators and maintenance frustrate tenants

Several residents say elevators break down often.

Multiple reviews describe broken or non-working elevators and difficulty getting to units, including accounts of having to walk many flights. Reviews also connect maintenance issues to other problems not being fixed, such as items that residents report repeatedly. A few reviews also mention older building conditions that contribute to breakdowns.

caveat 7 reviews mention this

Management and security face criticism

Residents describe harsh or unhelpful treatment from management and security.

Several reviews say management and security respond poorly—yelling when help is requested, treating residents aggressively, or not enforcing rules. Some reviews also claim management dismisses responsibility for issues like stolen packages. In addition, a few residents say communication changes after signing a lease and that help is hard to reach or office access is limited.

caveat 3 reviews mention this

Costs and parking add pressure

Some residents criticize fees and rent increases for the experience they report.

A few reviews mention higher costs, including charging more for heated parking and raising rent. Residents also describe the rent as high relative to the maintenance they observe. One review frames rent increases as taking advantage of tenants on low income.

common 4 reviews mention this

Neighbors and staff are sometimes praised

Some residents say neighbors and staff are friendly and supportive.

Several reviews include positive comments about people living in the building, describing residents as welcoming and kind. A few reviews also praise staff as friendly and say management was nice earlier during their time there. These positives are described alongside major complaints, so the tone isn’t consistent across all reviews.
