This review may be long in length but it's a must read! I am a former tenant who recently (May 2017), broke a year's lease 7 1/2 months into it. There is so much more I could write about in this review but I will stick to what I consider the most "serious" issues associated with living here. Construction! They are not forthcoming on the length, depth, or inconvenience that the on-going renovation project will cause you. Construction takes place Monday - Friday, 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. and will continue for the next year and half (maybe longer). This means that you hear everything that is going on and there is hardly ever a day where it's quiet during the week. The sound of construction is ear splitting and reverberates throughout the building so loudly that I could hear what they were doing on the 6th floor and I lived on the 3rd. And for an added bonus, as if the hammering, sawing and demolishing noises weren't enough, they are also grinding the cement floors in the units they are renovating (amplify the noise of a dentist drill 100 times and you get the idea). If you like to live in a peaceful and quiet environment then this is not the place for you. This was my first time with cement floors and I do not recommend them (the units will not have carpet). The floors are cold, full of static; attract dust, are very slippery, and dangerous to small children and pets. Also be prepared because what they don't tell you up front is that you'll be spending another $500-$1,000 for rugs after you move in. With the construction comes water shut offs. Not once in a while, but almost weekly, especially in the last few months. One full day a week that means no showering, toilet, cleaning or cooking. Just so you are not totally inconvenienced by this you can walk across the driveway (don't forget your toiletries) so you can take a shower and use the toilet in the pool locker room located in the parking garage structure. The construction dust poses a serious air quality issue and it caused problems for me. I had bad headaches for months and on-going sinus issues that all stopped abruptly when I moved out. The dust in the apartment was so bad they installed filters behind all my vents to try and help alleviate the issue. It seeps into everything (clothes, pillows, couches) and you can actually taste it at times. All the air you breathe in the building is compromised with this dust (lobby, elevators, hallways and apartment). The complex had a serious mice infestation for the first three months I lived here. The infestation was in numerous apartments (including the unit across the hall), and on two other floors. My newly "renovated" apartment literally fell apart. The construction was beyond shoddy and I had nothing but on-going problems during my lease (construction, appliance, plumbing, paint, heating/air, electrical, etc.). Between the apartment problems and issues with the upkeep of the building I put in 49 documented service requests and at least 25+ verbal ones to the leasing staff (continuous garbage back-up, laundry facilities, elevators, animal/pet violations, grounds maintenance, garage issues, recycling issues, noise and lease policy violations, etc.). Things might get fixed but it can take days, weeks, months, and some times not at all. A few other things you should know: the fee to park your car is separate from the monthly rent and you don't have any other option. If you like to grill then find someplace else to live, as they don't allow them on the balconies here. A shared drain by all 15 floors means food gets clogged repeatedly and there is a loud gurgling and a bad odor frequently emitting from the kitchen sink. There is no separate heating/air conditioning unit for each apartment so you are at the mercy of the building. The elevators are broken almost weekly. The guest entrance in the garage has been broken for over a year (no parking elsewhere) so be prepared to bundle up and walk across the driveway to open the gate manually each time you have visitors. I could go on and on but I'm just scratching the surface; to detail my entire experience here would force me to write a novel. The rents are very expensive for this complex and in my opinion you do not get your monies' worth. I moved here with the solid expectation that, per my lease agreement, Yorktown Apartments would provide a safe, clean and quality home environment. Didn't happen. Living here has been nothing but a continuous string of issues, inconveniences and mismanagement. Having been a renter all my life, by far, Yorktown Apartments has been the worst place I have ever lived and I do not recommend this property to anyone.
