1045 on the Park is an exciting land of interesting smells, sounds, and that oh-so-unspecial touch that leads any tenant to realize they made a big, big mistake in choosing to live here. From their website, you'll see the apartment layout and a walk-through for your apartment. But alas, their false advertising doesn't tell you that it's not reflective of your actual apartment. On move in day, you'll feel the warm welcome of the leasing agent forgetting your agreed move-in time and being unavailable because she "went out for a walk". When she finally arrives, you learn that the elevator is out. Fun fact, though - it may not be as bad as you think because the floor and apartment building numbering is super scammy. The ground floor is the 2nd floor, and apartments begin on the 3rd floor, which a normal human being could call the 2nd floor. Also, apartments begin with numbering at 306. Once you're finally in your apartment, you'll find an absurdly large number of issues despite the apartment being vacant for weeks. The electrical sockets are never flush with the wall. All of the metal in our fridge was rusted. (Fun note here: they ordered a replacement part for this, and the package was stolen out of the lobby.) The washing machine had mold in it and had to be replaced (not super quickly, I might add). The shower grout has mostly been eroded, the electricity wasn't working in one bedroom, there were multiple leaks, light bulbs were not working, the curtains were horribly stained, and more. When you do report a maintenance issue, it allows you to specify when you want them to come do the work. However, it will inevitably be at least 4-5 days before they come, and you'll learn they're coming when they knock on your door. However, the maintenance guys are really helpful and great. One of the perks is that your apartment locks and thermostat can be controlled directly through an app. They'll charge you $7.71/mo for this. You will never experience such an ear-piercing sound as the fire alarms at this building, and you will get to experience it repeatedly throughout your time here. We've had the pleasure 3 times in the last month alone. Our building is more like a hippie commune, where anyone who wants can come and go. People live in the stairwells and parking garage, which double as bathrooms. (It's a super fun little game when the electricity is out and there are no emergency lights in the stairwells, and you can smell that someone has pooped in there, but you have no idea where it is!) I reported that the front door to the building was not locking on Nov. 17, Nov. 22, Dec. 2, Dec. 18, Dec. 21, and Jan. 21. The tickets kept being closed. Don't worry, though - if the front door is fixed, people will either prop open side doors or break the locks, so there's always a way to get in the building without proper access. In early November, we were told that a security company had been hired. However, that contract was quietly terminated within a month or two without notifying tenants. (To be fair, the lease makes it very clear that the building is in no way responsible for providing any security.) You'll pay $50 annually for LuxerOne per tenant, a really great way to receive packages. For delivery drivers to use it, they have to enter the building, go to the 3rd floor (aka 2nd floor), go down the hall, enter the kitchen, and log it. Thus, 75% of your packages will be left in random places across the building, ready for the taking, creating a game of find the package before someone steals it! You'll love the dog park, which is super convenient for you to take your dog out. They'll rarely replace the poop bags nor will they empty the garbage can. Management prides itself on offering a smoke free community, but do expect to constantly smell marijuana throughout the building. Don't even consider trying to get out of your lease as you're effectively required to pay FIVE MONTHS of rent to break your lease. It's pretty unconscionable. But with all of the fun and games, why would you want to leave?
