Update 1/30/25-southgate and air communities is a complete predator. They agreed to let me break my lease due the mold infestation. They gave me one addendum to sign but had to change some dates. The second version included additional language that said I would waive my rights to any health issues which were snuck in and not mentioned. This is contract modification without mutual consent! Thankfully I read the agreement! I have lived here since 2020... both towers are infested with black mold. many of the residents are having health issues, including myself. The elevators are always out of service. On December 24th I was terrified and had a panic attack as I was in the middle elevator going back to the 12th floor. When the elevator reached 12 it dropped what seemed to be 3 feet and then started violently shaking and then the doors were stuck. I was able to get out of the elevator but you can imagine what type of fear that sends when you don't know if you are about to free fall 12 stories or not. I called the concierge to report the incident and then later that day all 3 elevators were out of order and not working at all. This is a huge safety issue and violation for not providing safety to the residents. I have filed an OES complaint with Miami Dade for both the mold and the elevators. I am also aware of the massive water leaks in the building that have not been properly handled in other residents' apartments and have video footage of standing water in their apartment as well as photos of mold in my apartment as well as other residents and people have tested positive for mycotoxins in their blood. Also please note that the majority of the 5 star reviews are fake or from people who work for Air Communities.
