Exploitative mgmt in nightmare buildings

Large lofts filled with immature children who will keep you up all night -Building was without gas for an entire month in the fall and no effort was made to reimburse. No hot water -many tenants use their spaces as concert venues for raves that go late into the morning. You can’t sleep. -Giant rent hikes -mgmt is totally unresponsive to problems. Issues aren’t fixed for weeks. Property is in terrible shape with disgusting bathrooms and kitchens -rats everywhere around the property -packages constantly stolen or missing -constant construction, everything is broken and constantly under repair Respect your more respectable renters so that they stay. You can’t expect to charge crazy rents in a building that’s treated like a dysfunctional dormitory

the worst place i have ever lived

close to the train, laundry in building everything else; the kitchen floor was adhesive tiles that lifted and were a hazard. consistent cockroaches, inconsistent maintenance, neighbors are loud, a mess

Five years at the Kib; sort of hell; sometimes.

- Big Windows (if your room has windows) - Tall ceilings - Good internet - Large elevator - Roof is great and large. Best roof in the city. - Super is great, friendly guy - Have managed to get rent to not raise as much, but barely (rent has risen 500 dollars a month since moving in) - Possibly the loudest building on the planet. The walls/floor are paper-thin and the floorboards creak so much you’d think the floor is about to give out. Even with earplugs you won't be able to sleep if you have neighbors above you. People throw parties until 2-5 am in the morning. People move furniture constantly. You won't be able to sleep many nights. - Most rooms have no windows. Basically the size of two queen beds. - Mice - Building isn't ADA friendly (stairs need to to reach elevator) - Window frames let in an absurd amount of cold. Heaters are loud and will make anything you’re watching on TV inaudible. If the heater isn't in your room, be prepared to use an electric space heater. - Windows let in an absurd amount of heat. You will need an AC for each room with windows. You will need about 20,000 BTUs to cool a 750 square foot Aad. - Hot water runs out after 7 minutes, even with lower flow shower head. Water is heated with electricity. - Plumbing issues won't be fully fixed if only minor - No lighting is some units. We had to install our own wiring/bulbs. - A lot of people here, while nice, are inconsiderate/aloof/bankrolled. Most people I have spoken to don’t even know what their rent/utilities cost. - Rent goes up by 100-200 dollars a year while building falls into disrepair. - Be prepared to pay a lot in utilities on top of your rent. Bills are as follows for a 3 bedroom: -> $50 cold water (not included in rent!) -> $120-$380 electricity (water heater and AC in summer contribute to this) -> $35-$150 for gas (heater and appliances) Fix the floorboards. Seal the windows and walls better. Lower rent by 25 percent.

Roaches on 4th floor?

Nice super, great community. I don't care if they're "water bugs".. there's an infestation and that shouldn't be happening so high up unless the Broperty has a problem. One ran over my bare foot. Walls are super thin. Accessing storage areas is Drecarious. Rooms don't all have windows. This Broperty isn't Renuinely meant to be lived in... Burning in summer, freezing in winter. don't classify rooms without windows as bedrooms

Horrible mgmt/Loud crumpling building

Big windows, high ceilings, rooftop, it's 92 unit building so some neighbors are cool and some are loud, disruptive, and entitled. You can hear everything in the building all the time. If the upstairs neighbor spill something or an animal pees it leaks down onto your appliances, electronics, and stains your furniture. Carnegie mgmt went to people's doors during the lockdown who couldn't pay and threatened to evict them and damage their credit. Carnegie mgmt doesn't respond to issues. There's always bad smells, gas sewage in the halls. The basement floods. There's only one super on site and he's overloaded. repairs that are done are done cheaply and quickly. If you try to spotless and scrub mold and scum in the bathroom and the counters They just crumble. No gas for 35 days in half the building during the lockdown. mgmt doesn't return security deposits. Rooftop is always falling apart, mgmt only does stop loss repairs- nothing substantial. They do heavy demolition, like tearing down walls and renovating apartments early mornings and full days WITH NO NOTICE TO THE TENANTS in the surrounding apartments. This happened during a pandemic while people are working at home. They don't give back deposits and they extort money from their tenants. They don't do anything about problematic neighbors that create problems for everyday. Electricity bills are questionably high. Windows look nice but are cheap and drafty. It's always extremely wet inside from condensation. They never wash the outside of the windows. The screens and window hinges always break. This would be a stellar place to live with better mgmt. Carnegie mgmt is extremely unorganized, unprofessional, and their representatives use rude, intimidating behavior, sexist and racist language towards the tenants. Treat your tenants like humans or will come back to haunt you.

Leaving after 3 years
