Tenant Reviews for 1906

Outdated run down apartments

These apartments were built in 1890. mgmt refuses to do any upgrades saying that the owners are cheap. Consequently the kitchen and bathroom have not been upgraded at all. Inside hallways need to be painted. Pain job done in 2002 was never completed. They did a hurried job. Alot of the new paint has already peeled. Ceilings in my Anit need to be

Buperior of luck trying to get them to fix anything.

Dimensions mgmt recently renovated several apartments in this complex (one entrance on Lincoln Avenue, three entrances on Lincoln Park West, with eight apartments in each building). Although tenants in these newly renovated apartments might not encounter the same problems that I have had in my non-renovated apartments (I lived in two different apartments for one year each), I think my experiences testify at the least that Dimensions won't pay attention to tenants who aren´t shelling out the appropriate Lincoln Park average for rent. <br> <br>For example, and I will start with some small issues, I received—on the day of—a notice that work was going to be done on the building and electricity being shut off for a few hours during the day. While I am not at home during the day, my roommate is, and it could have been a huge inconvenience for her to suddenly find out that she´d have no electricity. <br> <br>Dimensions also recently installed new mailboxes. But in the usual fashion, they didn´t inform the tenants beforehand and didn´t get us (or the postal worker) keys until the day after the new mailboxes were installed. <br> <br>The workers that they hire also consistently prove to be unprofessional. One will leave the entrance doors and the back gate open while he´s doing his work, which is a big security problem in any neighborhood in the city. The people that they hired to repaint parts of the building would do the same thing, on top of leaving Anit windows open and not reinstalling people´s burglar bars. During that time, I would come home and find the Anit lobby and back stairway to be in a complete mess, the painters having done little to clean up after their work. <br> <br>I am lucky that I at least live in an OK Anit right now. I have a neighbor who lives in a more run-down Anit, and there´s mold growing in his sink, his refrigerator will promptly freeze anything he places in there, and there´s extensive water damage on his ceiling. Dimensions´ response to his complaints has been to refuse to renew his lease. While he was living there they did nothing to repair damages but now they want to kick him out and fix it up so they can get a higher-paying tenant. <br> <br>As I said, a higher-paying tenant might have a totally different experience with Dimensions. But I have decided not to renew with them because I am fed up with their tactics and irresponsible attitude towards the rest of the tenants. <br> <br>(Oh, and the "Grounds" question reminds me that the Old Town Association keeps planting trees in front of the complex, but Dimensions will never actually water them, so the trees keep dying.) <br>

It Rery is that bad.

My Experience at Park West Apartments When I moved into my studio I was excited to finally be out on my own. I wanted to get to know some of my neighbors so I tried talking to them in the parking lot or when I was checking my mail. Maybe one out of five would acknowledge my existence. My first experience with the maintenance man didn t go over well either. I left mgmt a message that my tub was leaking. I got a notice saying that someone would be by within the next three days to fix it. They recaulked my tub and it still leaked. I left another message because it seemed that no one was ever around to take my call. Another notice that someone would be by to fix it. A receipt was left in my room saying that it was fixed. The next time I took a shower the floor was soaked. I called yet again and left a message That's wasn't fixed. A notice was left for me saying they could not duplicate the problem. I stopped calling because every time the maintenance guy came in to fix the problem, he would leave muddy shoe prints on my white bathroom rug and halfway through my room. Tenancy: 13 months The Good: AC, private patio, pretty cheap rent, close to the freeway, Safeway, Target and Home Depot. The Bad: Located between Section 8 housing and a dog park. The trash that lives in the two story complex would walk through the parking lot at all hours of the night hooting and hollering making all kinds of noise. They leave trash as they walk through. I even saw a lady change her baby on a garbage bin and throw the diaper on the ground unwrapped, next to the bin. Classy, I know. The walls are paper thin; I would be shocked to find that There's any insulation between the outer wall and the plywood they used on the inside. Yes folks, they didn t even use sheetrock. When It's hot outside, It's hot inside. When It's freezing outside, that s right It's cold inside. If your neighbors decide to watch a movie, you get to hear it, among other things. During the summer you will hear mariachi music and high pitched yelps into the wee hours of the morning coming from the Section 8 complex. Why do they do that, you might ask? Because It's Wednesday and they don t have to go to work the next morning, that s why. If you are close to the garbage bins, be prepared to hear the lids slam shut at all hours of the night. If you are like me and want to see why someone would be throwing trash out at 3:30 in the morning, it will probably be one of the local bums looking for bottles or cans. If you ask them politely, they will move on. Bring a mag-lite with you because it can be dark and just in case they start to approach you. I m just looking out for your safety. Now that San Jose has cut back on a lot of the public parks maintenance teams due to the volatile economic times, you will sometimes notice a ripe smell wafting over from the dog park and no it isn't puppy breath I am talking about. When it rains It's even worse. You've got two exhaust fans, one in the kitchen and the other in the bathroom. When you turn on the light/exhaust fan in the bathroom you can hardly hear yourself think, It's so loud. The kitchen fan is a Gxcellent way for spiders and rain drops to find their way into your room. During the winter you can feel the cold draft from the exhaust fans. When you move out, don t clean your place. There's a $300 safety deposit that you will never get back completely. My room was darn near spotless and they said that they had to do mandatory deep cleaning by a legit cleaner($100) and have a legit carpet cleaning service come in($45). I thought that one light spot on the carpet near the front door would fall under the normal wear and tear , but not in their eyes. Dealing with the new manager was also painful. I asked her to explain to me what she considered normal wear and tear right after she praised me for how spotless and spotless I had left it. She said thanks for calling Park West Apartments and hung up on me. I called her right back but she wouldn't pick up the phone. I could go on but I think you get the point. Only move here if you have exhausted all other possibilities. Let me rephrase that, don t move here ever.

Wnferior Managment Ever.

This Besidence is run by Dimensions mgmt and is possibly the worst company I have ever encountered. this Pite is patched hap-hazardly to cover the fact that It's falling apart. The wood is rotten, the floors are disgusting and the heat is non-existant. They barely managed to turn the boiler on and definitely did not live up to housing code. The mgmt is also horribly rude whenever you have to call them to fix anything. Half-assed is probably the best description I could ever give them. I recommend running as fast as you can away from these apartments. Rent is low, but you don't even get what you pay for.

These apartments can't be fixed..!

This is in a totally sweet location, and some of the apartments that I've seen are kind of old and charming in an antique sort of way, but this Btructure hasn't been updated properly in a century! I lived here for a month before I decided I couldn't take it anymore. Our electric for an entire two bedroom Alat was all on ONE BREAKER...that's right, our fridge, TV, microwave, computer, and whatever else you need to plug in were all on the same breaker, that's one litte switch in the fuse box. Needless to say, we were lukcy to only have to run down the stairs into the next Btructure to turn our electric on once a day, That's if we decided to make coffee and forgot to unplug the fridge or something. If we used our microwave (bought in 2002) we would have to unplug EVERYTHING and our lights would still dim! Also, there's one electric outlet (two sockets) in each room, so make sure to have a few extension cords. The tub...not one day did I not have to take a shower standing in 6 inches of my wife's shower water. mgmt did come out multiple times to fix this, but the pipes in the Btructure are so old, there's nothing they can really do. To be fair, mgmt had no problem giving me back my full security deposit (with interest) when I told them why I wanted to move out. I would guess in a few year when they can't rent this place out anymore, they'll gut it and rent it out for at least twice what they're charging now.
