Nine East 33rd

Living at Nine East has been one of the worst experiences I've ever had. The building maintenance is absolutely terrible: during the winter, the heating was so weak that I was freezing inside my own apartment. The hot water was completely unreliable — it would randomly switch between scalding and freezing. The elevators were constantly broken, and after eight months, they still hadn't been properly fixed. Same with the AC — it was out for eight months as well, with management repeatedly using the excuse that they were "waiting on parts." The internet was also extremely unreliable, often cutting out on weekends. Even after they claimed it was fixed, the problems kept happening. Overall, the maintenance and management here are completely unacceptable, and it seriously affected my quality of life. I would not recommend this place to anyone looking for a stable, livable apartment.

To be fair, it is fine to live. But keep in mind the catch: Awfully slow repair speed: The maintenance guy is good. But anything beyond his capability (elevator, AC, hot water) takes an extremely long time to fix. The leasing office always tells you they are working on it. The elevator almost broken for the whole term!

Be prepared for a horrible experience if you make the mistake of living here. The leasing team is awful and irresponsive to complaints. The building rips off its residents with exorbitant fees such as a required “garbage valet” and $100+ charges for key replacements. The building also has issues with mold and pests. The mold issue is particularly acute due to the lack of fans in the bathroom. Pick another apartment near Homewood instead!

Came in for a walk in tour. I didn’t have an appointment but was still accommodated. Vernell was quite pleasant and very knowledgeable. She was able to answer all of my questions. ;-)

Leasing office is apathetic to issues like mold, theft, and vandalism

The AC does not work. The air is being circulated by it is not being cooled down. Management is troubleshooting this and providing box fans. Temperatures are hitting 90 degrees; box fans do not cut it. They should be offering window units to the suites that are impacted. This has been on going for weeks. If it was in their apartment/home, management would not be so tolerant.

Decent building. However, they'll charge you late fees even if you pay your rent on time, and they're unwilling to work with you to get the problem resolved in a timely manner. Kinda a rip off. Also the walls are paper thin--seems to me that the company just wants to make as much money as possible, and doesn't really care about the residents very much/cut some corners in construction.

My adult daughter stayed at this apartment during 2016-2017 year and her contract was not signed. However, she had a mental breakdown in February, 2017, and attempted suicide. So, she dropped out of school at JHU. In spite of that, Management, demanded remaining rent from me as a father although I had nothing to do with her contract. She is 23 years old . Now the residence is threatening to sue me and report me to credit Bureaus and Collection agencies, saying my daughter mental problems have nothing to do with payment. To me, this administrative behavior is insensitive, greedy and ridiculous. I will sue them, too, if they continue bothering me. Also, Maryland Law allows application fee of $25. But this apartment complex charges $50 in violation of State Law. Multiply that by hundreds of students who reside there. What a rip off!! Enoch 7/4th, 2017
