When I moved in in July 2019, I moved into my dream apartment. I mean it was incredible. On the 26th floor, overlooking the ballpark, with rent listed at a little over 4k/month. It really was my very own Carrie Bradshaw penthouse moment. I felt like I made it. I toured the amenities and saw what a downtown cosmopolitan lifestyle could be. I was excited and quickly committed to joining the Park12 family. I was happy, although things were broken constantly, and dog owners were not held responsible for their dogs, and packages being "misplaced", I could live with the minor inconveniences and turn a blind-eye; but then we experience a major issue in the building in February of 2020, as you've seen in many of the comments here. I had to move out as many tenents did, and lived in a hotel clear across town for 2+ months, with 2 dogs and a roommate with a "remediation schedule" that kept shifting to the right, as things never seem to work as planned. This was a disaster...as I lived on the 26th floor and had to walk dogs three times a day while the elevators were down. FML. Since then, it's been a whirlwind of issues and disappointments, one after the other.
Now, I consider myself a very reasonable and understanding person, but I have had such a negative experience that I can't help but feel compelled to warn people of moving in, not too. The price is simply not worth it!!!
Look...I have my car broken into and damaged, I have had my storage unit broken into and had 5k+ worth of goods stolen. Due to the flood, I had thousands of dollars of damages to my things incurred; many of which I can't just buy, like pictures and awards, which were ruined. I have more packages stolen from their large package room than I can count. I now have items shipped to my friend's house now because I simply do not trust this building.
As a result of the flood, I had to move out of my dream unit as it wasn't available to move back in to until July...yes, 4 months after the flood...and so I moved into a basic, nothing special, no fril unit, still but spending 3k/month.
Now, I could talk about the riots, events at Petco, seasonal traffic issues, events in the parking lot across the street, lack of covid-19 precaution enforcement, police activity, fires, and subsequent evacuations, broken garage doors, and non-stop construction, and the wonderful scent of urine on the 7th floor leading to the dog park and little poop presents left on the way to the dog park, but I would rather focus on how gym access was practically limited to zero as you have to reserve 3-4 weeks out, although it's always empty; or maybe mention the homeless issue that is very concerning where you simply do not feel safe being outside. We have "security" but they do not solve this problem. Again, for what they charge, I expect much much more. I have two small dogs and although they offer the dog park as a luxury amenity, it's always dirty and the smell is awful, so we can't even use it. Management limited access to all of the amenities but offered no kick-back as tenants had to make other arrangements to work out, host social events, and work; although it's sold as a perk and included in our rent.
The building offered no discounted rents or credits for all of the issues, and the management is very unresponsive, and when they do, they do not follow through. I have sent countless emails, called numerous times and gone down to talk to resident services, and am constantly dismissed. although friendly, they simply don't solve your problem.
My lease is coming up due and I am debating to move out because I just don't see a reason to stay...
The worst part is that I once really loved this place...It really had so much potential.
