200 Fountain

Scheduled a virtual tour. Waited 15 minutes past the agreed tour start time and nobody from this property ever joined the meeting

I moved here from out of state and was unable to view the property before leasing and so I only had these reviews and virtual tours to inform me so I am trying to assist others by offering my rental experience over the last 6 months. These buildings are very outdated and are in need of serious renovations. I had just moved from a building in DC that was decades older and in excellent condition because it actually had regular preventative maintenance such as changing air filters and checking fire safety equipment which I have seen no evidence of here. So their favorite excuse for everything that doesn’t work because it’s an old building doesn’t hold up for me. Some of my most frustrating issues here: there is no A/C only “air movers” of which I only have one working satisfactorily in my apartment. I had to request a temporary portable A/C unit to use that can only cool up to 400 sq ft of my 2 bd rm apt. So it usually stays around 80 degrees on hot days and 75 on cool days while simultaneously jacking up my electric bill an extra $150. And I’m lucky. Other residents just accept that their apts are hot and don’t request the portable A/C or purchase their own. Our windows are also not universal size so we cannot install A/Cs without modifications. Plumbing was also so poorly designed so that my shower drains very slow. This causes stagnant water to build up and cause drain flies and worms to constantly infest my apartment during the warm months. There seems to be no solution to this. I am under constant assault from drain flies no matter how many times the drain is cleared or pesticide is applied. Closet doors hang. Floors are uneven and feel like your leg may fall through. And this may feel the worse: the residents have absolutely no accountability for their actions. Residents regularly throw their trash in the hallways, elevators, parking lots, and outside the dumpster. This attracts wildlife and even kills them through feeding them bad things. People throw things in the dog park. I’ve had to pull bones out of my dogs throat. People use their balconies as a trash chute. I have even found people throwing used diapers and menstrual products out their balconies. People have even thrown trash, including glass bottles at neighbors cars. I look forward to the day when my lease is up and I can move to a place where residents’ health and safety are respected.

I been living in 200 fountain homes for the last 8 months since I moved in my apartment has had a series of problems my ceiling been leaking since January, and they take months to come and look at and they just paint over it without fixing the problem. My bathroom has missing tiles which I had reported when I moved in still has not been replaced the fridge they gave me had a crack in it and my stove has this smoke smell coming out and they won’t change it .I have taken multiple pictures and spoke with the building manager nothing is being done. My apartment is at 90 degrees and rising there to lazy to pay to have fixed the right way I live a studio apartment and I have asthma and the heat is intolerable if I can give them a zero I would. My closet doors don’t close or they get stuck they let me move in like this. Only one elevator is working in my building and the other one look like is about to break down.
