They knew our move-in day, yet they didn’t clean the apartment prior. It was disgusting. Management is also terrible, unprofessional, and has no good sense of communication, so please avoid. The apartment is also very tiny and they used a wide angle lens in the photographs, making the rooms appear larger. Hoping our experience gets better here or else I will not be re-leasing.
UPDATE 11/04/2021: I tried to give these people the benefit of the doubt for a while, but several more things have happened. We tried to cut our heat on last night, and not even five minutes of having it on, it smells like fire and our smoke alarm goes off. A slight smell is normal, that is not normal. Not only this, but it took several weeks to get rid of our discovered roach and fruit fly problem. The hardwood floors are starting to come up due to water damage from previous tenants that clearly wasn’t addressed before us moving in. Likely won’t be re-leasing unless they improve themselves.
UPDATE JANUARY 14TH 2022: I won't be re-leasing here. I had a package stolen because there is no mail room, just small mail boxes. On November 4th, 2021, right after I updated my review the last time, a woman was SHOT on my floor (the third) and later succumbed to her injuries at a local hospital. Regardless of this being domestic related, this is terrifying for anyone who lives in this building. We were not notified by email at all from Pondok Management and when asked about the situation at the office, I was told they were "working closely with the local police". The entire building should've been notified. Maintenance men come at random times (usually in the morning!) with absolutely NO prior notification. We are told by maintenance that they are under the impression we already knew about them coming. We don't. Not only this, but the communal laundry room is disgusting, and the washer leaves a gross smell in your clothing, towels, etc. Only one washer is working, as the other has been broken for at least three months. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!
