Bay Parc Plaza Apartments

For current residents, take screenshots when you pay online every month. They would claim that you haven't paid some old rents when you move out. They would insist on that when you tell them there is a mistake. It seems they're just trying to get some extra money. They would remove some amounts from the bill if you try hard. It's the worst move-out experience I have ever had in my life.

Run! Don't walk. This place is a mess. Management will get you to sign a lease then unit will not even be available, this happened to us multiple times. Their answer each time? They'll try to find you another, more expensive, unit that MIGHT be available. We initially tried to get a unit for under 2K - lease in hand. By the time we were done they wanted to place us in another property at over 4K!!! Oh yeah and good luck trying to reach them and get an answer, that's a whole other process. They completely fail in customer service, response, and most importantly honesty. Why aggressively push rentals if you don't have any?!? Management and leasing agents are polite but seem poorly trained. Word to the wise, don't set yourself up for disappointment.

shady shady shady management practices. upon moving out of bayparc august 1 they bumped my move out date to aug 22 so they could charge me additional rent and short term rental renewal. even though i had already moved into my new apartment in another building. then they charged me double for monthly electric, pest control, water trash and sewer. plus i complained about mold due to constant respitory issues ... they laughed at me! do not move in here they are a substandard rental community that charges premium rates.

Do not rent here, stay away from this place... Elevators do not work, 25 min waiting to get to your floor. Construction next door do not let you sleep. Cars have been stolen from parking. Dirty place...Security guards are super rude... Bad reputation in the area and is very expensive place. DO NOT RENT HERE....

That building simply sucks. And the most upsetting thing with the google reviews is the responses that they give. They do literally nothing to help you. And they are far from being or act like a real community. The manager, Alexis is a joke. She is always sorry for you having a problem but she never has a solution or she is willing to negotiate. Is that why they call you a manager? Apart from the construction I had to face many other problems. My apartment flooded almost a year ago and they blamed my neighbor. I had to stay out of the house for a week (even though they had to keep the machines at least 10 days to dry) Since then I am facing molt problems and that apparently affects my health. They reduced my rent for that month to compensate the days I was out and then they charged me a 200 dollars late fee after I emailed Alexis to fix my statement. I sent her the email on time she replied after two days providing wrong days. But they charge you for their mistakes. Another time a drunk guy run into my apartment and the security did nothing. I had to call the police. (Believe me I have pictures) I pay around 2000 per month and my appliances are dated to WarWorld 1. So bad and they don't function. If I want to change them they have to increase the rent. That's ridiculous. Last but not least, I got stuck in the elevator twice calling 911 because the emergency button is not working. Twice in 6 months. While other times I had to wait for an elevator for 45 minutes. Today, Alexis was sorry again. I am sorry for her and her position. You should care more people!

I'm so glad that I didn't signed that lease. Too much bs just to get a lil space to live! I heard the bad experiences from friends and I listened. So many fees, so much money upfront that you might don't see it later.

I've had five wonderful years here until now. For the last five months, the property manager, Carlos Garibello has failed to address my neighbor's excessive dog barking (all day long, for long periods at a time, early mornings, etc.). We've had over 30 email exchanges (primarily me reporting the incident and him not responding). I've shared dozens of videos capturing the noise, and each time I called Concierge. I escalated it to HQ, and no one has made an effort to fix this.

The worst building i ever lived ! The personal are unfriendly, always something happen with the elevators. The only good thing about this place its the location. You can find better places for less money in the same area.

I sent in an application to this property and after it was approved (after checking my credit score, employment record, etc), I received a call from the leasing office to inform me that the apartment I applied for was not available, and that there were others available for $800 more than what I was quoted. In addition, I paid $1100 for the deposit for the apartment, but only received a receipt I would be refunded for $1000 (as in $100 application fee was not going to be refunded). To summarize, I was scammed for $100 for an application for an apartment that does not exist... I called the leasing office multiple times, plus texted the leasing manager, but was ghosted by all.

This a very awful apartment. It has been my home for the past 3 years, and I can say that on the security side it sucks. Sadly, I pay for a storage unit that the charge on an extra cost, but you on the same side sign something that they give up all the responsibility and they say that its all on you. The storage room was completely robbed. this is very curious, because there is only one key to get access nor they have a record nor they care to check who goes in or out and what they take. never to mention they lack of cameras for checking the status of the storage units. This is very unfair, since they charge and control everything on the building (AIMCO own the whole building) yet they are just in for the money that you generate but don try to make your lifestyle more comfortable, yet they only care that the building is fully rented and everything else doesn't matter for them. But I can say how good they are for you to be on time to pay. If you don't pay the firsts days of the month, they will overcharge you with $200 USD, and same, they don't improve on security, even if they are getting money on their pockets. One month after I reported the robbery, and they stating were going to improve the securities conditions (as the only way they wanted to become responsible for the situation - not recognizing any of my loses, which includes luggage, expensive watches, sport instruments, and more) I got myself into the building, and the gates (which should be closed) open all the way at 11 PM. Not to mention that there was no security person in the gates to check that nothing got in or out without be certain that they should. Long story short, the storage rooms are accessible from the garage, which makes my kind of situation easy for any people that wants to take something (again) from the units. What was my surprise? management said exactly the same after my robbery - we are working on the issue, it will not happen again - yet they still don't do anything. So bottom line its try to not rent here, they will not make sure your lifestyle becomes better, and they only will care of when you payment is due. Nevertheless, the girls that talk to you are very nice, but are not the manager, and the manager simply goes for the pockets of the company, that is revenue revenue - and don't give back much.

STAY AWAY!!! Nothing but problems here and they like to charge for EVERYTHING! (i.e. they will charge $77 just to pay your rent!). I'm not kidding! They charge a processing fee of $77 to take your payment by check or credit card. They did offer another solution once I complained about the fee but of course they don't bother to tell you that to begin with resulting in overpriced fees. Parking is also extra and if you want to park on the 2nd or 3rd floor its another upcharge to park there because that's "Premium". If your friends or family come to visit they can park in the visitor section where they will gladly charge them a fee per hour. Oh and if you have Amazon packages coming to you, you have to pay for a locker. I don't mind paying for things when it's something I want or for quality. I chose these apartments because they were considered luxury apartments...EXCEPT that they run the place without pride or commitment to excellence. The hallways in the common area smells like wet dogs and urine. The garage smells like urine and the concierge folks are rude, inconsistent and poorly trained. Once I reserved the elevator for move in and of course They gave away my time to someone else. When I checked back at the time they told me to come back it was still being used by someone else, so the movers had to use the regular elevators resulting in a fee! Another time when I asked for the bellman cart to move some stuff to storage they said they would call me once it was available...I'm still waiting. Then when I asked if I could change my parking spot because the SUV I drive was to big for the spot. They gave me a spot that belonged to someone else, they did it TWICE! On my third attempt they gave me a list and told me to go around each parking spot and check each one to see what was available and then I could have that spot. I elected to just keep my crappy tight parking spot. Than I come home from work one night and they gave my spot to another person. When I complained to the concierge about it she tells me that the person is not home so can I please park in spot 744. (no problem right?) Except I go to the spot and of course another car is parked there! When I asked to speak to someone the concierge tells me that there is one person still at the office and she would come in a few minutes to speak with me....so after waiting the concierge comes over and says oh she's going home so she asked if you could park in another spot. (So it's obvious it wasn't important. It was 6:01 pm and it was time to go home, who cares if paying tenants don't have a place to park even if they paid for it.) I was about to give up, when I saw the person who was suppose to be helping me. I guess she forgot something so she was heading back to retrieve it. When I asked her what was going on, she says, "Oh didn't they tell you to park somewhere else." That's when I lost it, Why do I have to go searching for parking because of someone else's mistake. Than the concierge tells me not to yell and you "can't talk to me like this." I never used profanity, never threatened them but I'm not allowed to get upset because "thats harassment" are you kidding me!?!? Maybe you have to pay extra to get upset. They don't care about the service requests only that you give everyone high marks on there surveys. Everytime they do something for you they send you a survey.. Once before I moved in from AZ. I did a survey giving the leasing agent high marks because she was helpful, but it asked about the environment and I gave it no marks because I had not seen the common areas yet. I get a text from the leasing agent asking why I gave her poor marks, I explained I didn't and of course the next time I had a question and I asked the leasing agent for help, she pawned me off on someone else without even responding to me, so she wouldn't have to help me. Long story I know...but I rather vent on here and get it out of my system than vent to my family or friends

I applied at this location and to be told my credit report is lower than a 500 and my application was denied and I need a consigner. before applying at this location, I applied for a mortgage and received my preapproval letter, I own properties now , I wanted to relocate to open a business in Miami. after telling management I have a cosigner, I was asked if that person is 700 over, they run the credit threw credit karma. after reading the reviews about roaches. i just told them to cancel. I am just going to purchase.

Bay Parc or Bay Shart? Living in Bay Parc was really bad, like a shart. The pictures, quickly raising rental rates if you don't sign lease on the spot, and a well coordinated tour by leasing agents will put you at ease and you may even sign a lease. That's when the unexpected shit happens.I signed a lease for Lanai #1, monthly rent was over $3,300 and daily I woke up to shit, piss, broken bottles, and trash covering the entire lanai. Much of the valuation of the property was clearly due to lanai and location which were/are completely unusable.Lanai #1 was not registered as an address during remodel. It took me months to be able to get mail because the address didn't exists virtually. We were eventually able to solve after working with USPS directly. This all occurred after representatives from Bay Shart registered multiple changes of address in my name without my will while trying to solve. Elevators never all function and the front entrance is almost always covered in dog urine and waste. The produce brought in for Pura Vida sits on the ground where dogs pee early in the morning. Roaches are in the walls. I served a 7-day notice to cure on Bay Shart and Regional Mgr Tanner for above named issues, He said he would allow us to leave with no lease break. Carlos was brought in and we gave him a chance to fix it, by being patient the rules somehow changed and Tanner made the decision I needed to pay a lease break fee. I think it says volumes when you realize I willfully paid 3k in lease break fees, the cost of movers, and took on the inconvenience of the move to simple get out of there. From a leadership perspective the place is a joke. "Patrick" is still on half the correspondence they send out. Carlos has replaced him - he says he's been told he manages properties like they're the Ritz Carlton (he doesn't) and Tanner at the regional level whose total ineptitude made me feel incredibly solid about shorting Aimco stock. Save yourself the time and stay away!

Today at around 6pm. My pregnant wife and I are not able to leave our apartment in the 38th floor because the fire rescue shutted down all the elevators for safety reason. Management response to every resident complaint, was they cannot do anything until the following day in the morning after the city inspect the malfuntions of the elevators. Management told everyone to use the staircase no matter age or disabilities. Myself and many people walked their way to their apartments with groceries, children, suitcases, etc. Others couldn't get to their homes at all. Elevators are a big concern to everyone here since they do not work properly, they rarely are working at the same time, and people get stuck very often. After living in this building for several years, it is time to move on. Due to very unprofessional and poor management, today i have decided to not renew our lease. Aimco seems not to care about their residents anymore and I'm not putting my pregnant wife through safety risks. I understand there is a new management in the house now which started a month ago, but that is not guarantee that things are going to get better. I have met 4 diferent managements in 7 years. One worst than the other. Today was the drop that overflew the glass. Under last management my storage was emptied out by mistake by the maintanance employees. The previous GM lied to us and said it was theft. Off course nothing we could do neither the police. We were offered a compensation through the building insurance but we never got a dime. The manager at that moment was Alexis Dimanchi. Entrances are not secure. Garage Gates are left open every time there is a little bit of wind without any guard on post. At least once a week you find security sleeping somewhere in the property including front desk personnel. Pest is another big issue here. Very very unhealthy and unsanituary since they started building the Arias on the Bay condo right next door. I understand the why, i dont understand the methods to solve the problem. Very very poor response. I could go on and i have a big list. I believe I could keep writing 10000 thousand words because we feel very frustrated and hopeless. All I wish right now is to live in a place where my wife and i can carrie our pregnancy without stress and troubles. UPDATE: 05/25/2017 NO ONE CONTACTED US AS REPLIED TO THIS REVIEW BY WHO KNOWS FROM AIMCO. Today a cleaning crew of unknown people to us was sent to my apartment to clean the balcony. By unknown people I mean they are not Bay Parc Plaza regular employees. We received a 1 day notification paper in our unit front door mentioning that a cleaning crew was going to enter our unit on 05/25/2017 from 9.30am to 5.30pm and ask to secure our pet if we had one. Today at 12pm I called management to ask them please and let us know at what time approx. so we could be present due to security reasons (since this is a new management I explained the same reasons mentioned above on this review). Please read the email I have sent to the GM 15 minutes ago. Hi Joe, I'm writing you in reference of the balcony cleaning that was performed today at my apartment. But before, I would like to ask you for my wife's security and mine, that next time you sent a crew of people that we don't know and/or are not employees of Bay Parc Plaza, these are in companion of a security guard. We spoke on the phone 2hrs before they knocked on our door and I have told you that for security reasons and bad experiences we had here in this same apartment, they were not allowed to enter my house if we were not present. And now I have confirmed that they're entering the units without security guards and my concerns are not being taking in consideration by Bay Parc Plaza management. FROM NOW ON, AND FOR OUR OWN SAFETY, NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO ENTER MY APARTMENT WITHOUT US BEING IN THERE UNLESS IT'S AN EMERGENCY. NO PEST EXTERMINATOR, NO MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL, NO GUARDS, ETC. I have an IP cam installed so I will know. Email continues... about the mess they left in my balcony.

DO NOT MOVE INTO THIS BUILDING. WORST BUILDING IN DOWNTOWN EDGEWATER BRICKELL AREA, TERRIBLE STAFF, TERRIBLE ELEVATORS, TERRIBLE RESIDENTS, PETS EVERYWHERE, STAY AWAYYYYYY

All they care about is to steal residents money Rented their for a year , building was under total construction, didn't deliver their commitments upon finishing their construction on the right time.After a month of renewing our lease We got called to change our jobs to Orlando Talked to the leaseing officeres and they provided us with wrong information about how much to break the lease.Sent emails to their community managers But of course they didn't care about us or that we have been a good tenant ,never paid late or created any problems .they only care about stealing your money.We have been paying for an empty apartment for the last three month And we get charged every day I will be taking my legal action against this place .

I haven't lived here but did come into the leasing office to inquire about their rentals and availability twice. The first time I walked in I had to wait a long time before I was acknowledged and when I was by a female, I was given the keys to give myself a tour. The second time I came in to apply I sat for about 30 minutes and was completely ignored by the same female that was talking to a contractor. I walked out and they could care less. Never came back.

Got an appointment for virtual tour three weeks ago for today's appointment. The agent did not show up. After contacting the office, was told the next available appointment is in 4 weeks. Observing the unprofessional attitude the leasing office could have, and imagine what their maintenance team be like.

Don't let the photos fool you. It's all a facade. It has 1.5 stars for a reason, don't do it to yourself. If you are looking for a quiet comfortable place to live in Edgewater, choose a different property. Here's a -short- list of my experience in 2 years here: - The building has a massive roach problem. Look at all the other recent reviews here. Once you sign, you are now sharing an apartment with a roach community. - The entire front of the building has a strong odor of dog poop. - There is constant smell of backed up garbage in the trash chutes. - If you're unlucky and get loud neighbors, you can hear them talking and hear their dogs pacing back and forth all night with the paper thin walls. - Your balcony, if you are unlucky enough to face Aria, will be forever filthy and unusable, coated with a film of dust/dirt from the loud fans located on the ground level. - There is mold and mildew in the units growing in the closets. They will not do anything about it and it poses a health risk. - They have plumbing issues and when a pipe bursts and floods your apartment, they will use an industrial area fan to blow into your unit from the hallway for days on end. - Staff constantly comes into your unit unannounced with no explanation and don't even have the decency to turn the lights off before they leave. - You will pay for the lights and water for the building at rates that increase whenever they see fit, in addition to your own FPL and water. These fees will cost more than your own monthly bills. I lived in a 1-bedroom apartment and paid $30 in FPL, but $50+ in "community electric" fees each month. Same with community water. And community tax. And convenience fees. And parking taxes. And other fees you can't dispute. Patrick will not explain why, but he will promise "it's another company that charges that -- I will look into it" and hopes you forget to follow up. Stay on him like a hound for any resolution, but expect him to give you the runaround. You will either pay them or you will pay them with a late fee attached because he will not respond. Contact me via PM and I can show you the invoices. - You will pay move-out fees of $500+ which is not outlined in the lease. - Patrick will purposely avoid you if he sees you in person because he is a childish and inept manager that is incapable of resolving tenant issues. - The lobby is renovated, but the remainder of the building is not. There is disgusting stained carpet on all tenant floors except pool level. Don't take my word for it -- ask for a tour and see for yourself. - After a few weeks when you realize you made a mistake moving in, you will be charged 4 months rent if you attempt to move out early, plus all community fees for months you didn't even live there. - You will wait 10-15 mins for the elevators daily because they are constantly out of service. - There is always piss in the elevators. - That said, there are homeless people that sleep around the front door. - The "automated" parking system works 2 days out of the week, but on the remaining days you will probably be late for work while you wait 15 mins for the cars in front of you to incessantly push the button and wait for a concierge that is never at the desk for assistance. - The visitor parking fees are astronomical. After 2 hours you will be paying $25. And $50 for a lost ticket. - After 2 years of living here, there is still constant construction ongoing and unkept promises of amenities. - Concierge is always rude, unhelpful and clueless and Patrick has been caught instructing them to call the police on tenants. - They will mistakenly tow your car without notice even if you are a paying resident. - When you move out, they will provide you with a list of fees you will be charged (only if you ask) after having been informed you won't be getting your deposit back. - Most of the fees are community fees from +3 months in arrears that you never agreed to. When you ask for an explanation, one will not be provided - They will not provide you with a move-out inspection.

I've been in this building for a while now and while I have no complains about the facility I am so disappointed in the staff-especially front desk. After I greeted her politely and asked her a question she cut me off without letting me finish and waved her hands in my face as to quiet me....RUDE! In our brief encounter she had her hands in my face, pointing at me and even raised her voice. I'm not sure what business they are running here in Bay Parc but I am outraged. This is not the first time I see this particular woman have an attitude. I wish management would do a better job in training+hiring because that is absolutely unprofessional and unacceptable. I don't even write reviews- I created a yelp account with the sole reason of writing this because it was so awful.

Horrible

Lived in this roach hotel for 4 years, wasn't as bad when I first got there, but progressively got worse. When I first moved in, there was black mold in the vents, the building ignored and deflected 5 attempts to bring this up. Even with multiple attempts with pest control, there were always roaches. They used to have a front desk like all other towers in Miami, but decided to remove it. Elevators worked 50% of the time with the exception of maybe 1-2. I've been moved out now for 2 weeks and still trying to get my security deposit back. My neighbor had his car stolen from the garage and he was one of 7 that I had heard about. DO NOT live here unless you can get them to come off the rent price by a lot. Whoever reads this review from Bay Parc, please contact me with how to get my security deposit back.

Don't spend your time with this Guys! Rude and Disrespectful Staff

DO NOT MOVE INTO THIS BUILDING. WORST BUILDING IN DOWNTOWN EDGEWATER BRICKELL AREA, TERRIBLE STAFF, TERRIBLE ELEVATORS, TERRIBLE RESIDENTS, PETS EVERYWHERE, STAY AWAYYYYYY

There are some problems with communication at this property. I have scheduled and received confirmation and reminders on 3 virtual tours. This property was a no-show on all 3. I have left 5 voicemails - never received a single response or call back. I have called 6 or 7 times - and rolled to voicemail on all occasions. The only time i can get a response is by messaging - I believe it's a BOT because i get scheduled for a virtual tour - but nobody ever shows up. I can't comment on what the experiences of the residents are - but attempting to lease here is a monumental challenge. I've contacted Aimco's corporate office for assistance. We shall see if they are any better.

Worst place to live in Miami... Please stay away, horrible management. A lot of noise, this is an old building with a lot of defects inside. Be careful with you car bicycles and bikes, a lot of them have been stolen from the parking garage. Hidden charges after you sign he lease that are never discussed at signing. STAY AWAY FOR YOUR SAFETY...!!!!!!! With the amount of money you spend here a month you could live in a beautiful place here in this same area for less. Please check other reviews and you will see I am telling the very truth.

We don't recommend this building.

It was the worse year I have had in a building here in Miami. The roach problem they have is huge. There were roaches everywhere inside and outside the apartment. I tried to end my lease agreement due to an allergy I got from the roaches and they did not even accept it. Do not move there.

Its not the place you see on web, it is fake, and for sure itsnt a good building to live.

While I do not blame the leasing agent, my experience at Bay Parc was absolutely terrible. My appointment window was triple booked, with another person waiting, while the leasing agent was with yet another person who was late because of a "medical emergency," but was still there, again, not her fault, she has to accommodate if someone is late. After an email inquiry, text message conversation AND phone call, the staff still was not aware of my needs as a potential resident - the same questions were asked again when I arrived. I drove an hour to my appointment, and was told to park in "future resident parking" in which there were no open spots, so I had to park in a 15 minute "delivery only" space, but the leasing agent let them know not to tow or ticket my car. That was a worrisome beginning to the visit. I attempted to navigate myself from the parking garage to the Lobby, with no signage or elevator buttons denoting the lobby. Upon arriving in the lobby, I did not know who to approach to let the leasing agent know I was there. Eventually, I asked someone standing at a podium, and she pointed me to the leasing agent sitting at a table with another person. After waiting a few minutes, I approached her and apologized for interrupting, but wanted to let her know I was there for my appointment. She apologized and said she'd be with me shortly. I waited 45 minutes - and was late for another appointment because of it - to be shown a completely gutted apartment while the agent described what the unit would eventually look like. I did not see an empty unit, or even a model unit and was surrounded by workers in what was a potentially dangerous environment with wires, pipes, screws, nails and metal for someone to walk through, at one point inadvertently kicking a piece of metal that was on the floor on the way to the gutted apartment. I then learned that there were no apartments available anyway, at least until July and the agent could only provide limited information on the actual unit coming available in July. The lobby was crowded, I was dodging maintenance workers, cleaning crews mopping with no regard for the people around them, ladders and packs of small dogs all being walked around together. There was no front desk, no leasing office, the leasing agent was just at a table in the lobby and had no office, with no eye out for her next appointment, as she was with someone. I was privy to a conversation of a resident inquiring about her emergency request for maintenance over a weekend due to a water leak, in which the staffer at the podium was nice about her request, but had no record of it in their system, while the tenant reiterated that she submitted it. When I asked the leasing agent if the lobby was always like this, she said that it was a unique community with young, active people who love this type of atmosphere. I am 37, I am young and active - I cannot see how anyone would find this experience positive unless they don't care about where they live and just want a place. The lobby from front to back was like the Port Authority terminal in NYC. Upon leaving, I was charged a $2 fee for parking in "future resident parking." The $2 fee doesn't bother me, what bothered me was that after a disastrous experience and thinking I'm coming in as a welcomed guest and "future resident," I had to take any action just to leave the place. The leasing agent said she was working to fix the signs in the garage and lobby, but the building has much bigger issues that need to be addressed. I'm sure the apartments are nice, unfortunately I wasn't able to see one after driving an hour and waiting 45 minutes, but overall the experience was enough to make me never go back there again.

Do not live here! Incredibly distributing pest problem. Roach infested building. Staff doesn't care about tenants and the ongoing issues they are experiencing.Elevators are broken almost weekly leaving one in use and a 30 minute wait time to use, this causes overcrowding. (Example 12 people in a single elevator at one time during a ongoing pandemic) When you bring these issues up to camila the manager of this building she is terribly rude, unprofessional. condescending, accusatory, & lacks empathy. And did I mention ROACHES! Again do not waist your time with Bay Parc Apartments.

When I moved in here, it was under construction, but I still loved it. The management was amazing back then. Since then, the management has changed. The new management is inexperienced, unprofessional, and rude. They do not respond to emails or calls as you see from my review and the reviews below. I have had roaches for MONTHS. The roaches are literally in my purse, in my bed, in my shower, etc. They came to do a "flush" that required 3 hours of preparation and over 3 hours of cleanup. My appliances were left in the middle of the floor, and I had to move them back by myself. Then two weeks later they scheduled the same thing without consulting me, which requires 6 hours of my week. I've called management and emailed several times. No response. The building is beautiful, and my neighbors are great. However, for what they charge in rent here, I'd expect management to at least return my phone calls within 5 days and treat me with professionalism and respect.

For all this high priced rent I have roommates who don't pay anything: the ROACHES. I have seen one in my apartment almost everyday since Sunday 2/17/18. Before that I had seen at least 5! I am charged for pest control yet the pest roommates are still here. There's nothing state of the art about he gym - there's no screen to Bluetooth my phone for workouts like I've sent in cheaper apts. not to mention no bars for the pulley machine. No business center for residents. A ghetto valet who smokes - BUT it's mkt as a smoke free building. Pet restrictions but any and every kind of dog is in the elevators. Roaches roaches roaches roaches

WORST BUILDING EVER!!!! every day problem!!!dont rent HERE!!! no amenities available at all!!!everything in renovations so you pay for nothing!!!! my worst 12 months ever!!! bad move in apartment in dirty conditions!!! they still you money every month with "new fees and taxes"!!! dirty balcony!! expensive for have nothing!!! no one thing is good!!! they change the management but everything is getting worst!!!! AGAIN DONT RENT HERE FIND ANOTHER PLACE"!!! stay away !!!!!!!

Unfortunately, the dog owner residents often allow their dogs to urine and poop in the common area (see photo). It was disgusting and the whole corridor reeked of the stink. I have seen this multiple times and have written to the building management about it three times, but they did not take concrete action. Moreover, the Luxer locker system is outrageous. We need to pay $75 a year for it. FedEx always fails to put the packages into the lockers properly. They just randomly put it into a locker and don't generate an access code for it, and most of the lobby staff didn't care (all except a very nice guy called Chris, who always helped me locate my package if it happens and he's on duty). I once couldn't locate my grocery delivery for 5 days because the staff on duty refused to help me with opening the lockers to check which one it was placed in. Of course, the grocery went bad and I had to toss it.

If I could give no stars I would. Joe is a really nice guy but my experience living here has been terrible. The communication is a huge issue. If I was told accurate information and if construction occurred when it was supposed to I would have had a much better experience. Instead I overpaid in rent for amenities I won't even get to enjoy. Go elsewhere. The last thing you'd want to do is go to work everyday and dread coming home like I did...

Don't let the photos fool you. It's all a facade. It has 1.5 stars for a reason, don't do it to yourself. If you are looking for a quiet comfortable place to live in Edgewater, choose a different property.This place is run by a scammer, Patrick McGarry, and his incompetent team of thieves.Here's a -short- list of my experience in 2 years here:- The building has a massive roach problem. Look at all the other recent reviews here. They will not do anything about it except hope you don't notice prior to signing the lease. Once you sign, congrats! You are now locked into a lease with a family of roaches.- The entire front of the building has a strong odor of dog poop... because of all the dog poop. Good luck enjoying your meal at Pura Vida while you inhale the stench of piss and poop.- There is constant smell of backed up garbage in the hallways from the trash chutes.- You can hear neighbors talking and hear their dogs pacing back and forth all night (probably fighting off the roaches) with the thin walls.- Your tub paint will continually peel and you have to leave your apt for 24hrs for them to fix- Your balcony, if you are unlucky enough to face Aria, will be forever filthy and unusable, coated with a film of dust/dirt from the loud fans located on the ground level. They promised to clean them 4 times during my 2 years there, and never once did the cleaning occur.- There is mold and mildew in the units growing in the closets. They will not do anything about it and it poses a health risk.- They have plumbing issues and when a pipe bursts and floods your apartment, they will use an industrial area fan to blow into your unit from the hallway for days on end, growing more mildew.- Staff constantly comes into your unit unannounced with no explanation and don't even have the decency to turn the lights off before they leave.- They charge residents for electric/water for the building at rates that increase each month, in addition to your own FPL and water. These fees will cost more than your own monthly bills. I lived in a 1BR apartment and paid $30 in FPL, but $50+ in "community electric" fees each month. Same with water. And community tax. And "convenience fees." And parking tax. Expect $200+ unexplained additional fees each month. Patrick will promise "it's another company that charges that -- I will look into it" and will not follow up and will give you the runaround. You will either pay now or pay later with a late fee attached because he will not respond. Contact me via PM and I can show you the invoices.- You will pay move-out fees of $500+ which is not outlined in the lease and will be taken from your deposit. Again, look at other reviews. Read it for yourself.- Patrick will avoid you if he sees you in person because he is an inept manager that is incapable of resolving issues. His mantra is "out of sight, out of mind."- The lobby is renovated, but the remainder of the building is not. There is disgusting stained carpet on all tenant floors except the pool level (10th floor). Don't take my word, take a tour and see it yourself.- Once you realize you made a mistake moving in, you will be charged 4 months rent if you attempt to move out early, plus all community fees for months you didn't even live there. Read other reviews for evidence of this.- You will wait 10-15 mins for the elevators daily because they are constantly out of service and functioning improperly.- There is always pee in the elevators. Likely from the homeless and dogs.- That said, there are homeless people that sleep around the front door.- The gym is nice!- The "automated" parking system works maybe 2 days out of the week. On the remaining days, expect to be late for work while you wait 15 mins for the cars in front of you to incessantly push the button and wait for a concierge that is never at the desk for assistance.- The visitor parking fees are astronomical. After 2 hours you will be charged $25. And $50 for a lost ticket.- After 2 years of living here, there is still constant construction ongoing and unkept promises of amenities.- Concierge is always rude, unhelpful and clueless and Patrick has been caught instructing them to call the police on tenants. They did mention they don't blame me for moving out when I was leaving though. That was comforting.- They will mistakenly tow your car without notice even if you are a paying resident.- When you move out, they will provide you with a list of fees you will be charged (only if you ask) after having been informed you won't be getting your deposit back.- You pay "community fees" from +3 months in arrears that you never agreed to.- They will not provide you with a move-out inspection.Pay close attention to the damage control from the "community manager" here on every negative review and that will tell you everything you need to know. They send constant e-mails to residents to fill out positive reviews for them because they can't afford to lose their money trap.

Don't move here. I am a real estate agent in the area and have heard HORROR stories from residents. Also, building was acquired by a large private equity comopany- Blackstone earlier this year. They have now been issung false collection notices to previous tenants as well as people who never lived in the buildings but applied and management had their social security information. Google Blackstone AIR communities. I never write reviews on apartments, or at all for that matter, but I am disgusted to see what they have done to my clients. Beware of this company. It is not normal for a rental building to charge a $850 application fee- RED FLAG!!

Linda is so rude, she shouldn't be on front door ever. If I will have peaple in my team like she is,,,its mean you going down!!

The apartments look nice on the outside. However, the building is infested with cockroaches. They're renovating floors so if your floor is next, expect to get forced out or forced into signing a new lease, even if you just moved in or renewed your lease. Expect to have your rent increased a minimum of $150 every year. Building management is a massive enterprise that will charge you a fee for anything they can think of. But at least the view is nice....

I applied for a condo here and got denied, leasing office took my 100 dollar deposit and charged me $750 dollars to hold my apartment until the results if of my application process, unfortunately I was denied. I have been trying to get my $750 dollars back from them and it has been a complete nightmare. the leasing office employees where assisting me through the process (Fredny) does not even have the courtesy to reply to any of my messages. If this is the way they conduct business then i can just imagine if you needed them or anyone from the association to conduct themselves in high standard. What a mistake to have applied here, it seems to me that they are just interested in making a commission and are not there to really help you. Extremely Unprofessional.. I hope once someone's reads this from corporate they do the right thing and return my money..

They are too expensive

Never been scammed so bad. Got out of my lease early so I could get the F out of there. Half the building is under construction year round. When we signed up we were told there was an indoor basket ball court and there wasnt anymore! Also, they get you with this sales tactic saying now that you have been shown the amount each month for rent, if you dont sign today every day that passes the rent price will go up. SO YOU SIGN LIKE AN IDIOT! Once youre their washer and dryer are so small its 1/4 of a normal one. So many other things are charged a month for sewer water pest control (which is BS cockroaches everywhere) ect Worst part is the parking. $120 a spot. This made your rent which was quoted at 1800$ to be actually 2300$ with all the extra stuff. We could have stayed in a bigger place for that kind of money. Sometimes they charge you with late fees when you have automatic reoccurring payments??? HOW SWAY?? Isnt that the point is that you do this so you dont get any late fees? Now that we are moved out they never cease to F us. They are charging another late fee and I have been emailing the manager for a week with no response. Im going there tomorrow morning and lets see what they have to say about it.

Do not I repeat do not move here! It's a joke... I've lived here twice... don't know how. They are such a rip. Elevators never work. The WORST part, they charged a $400 fee for "walls" upon moving out with no explanation. This place will do anything for a dollar and they don't value their residents. I'm warning you don't pay for this overpriced unethical building!

There is a video from your apartment complex of a woman beating her dog on the balcony! How can this kind of behavior be tolerated?! Disgusting!

Bad experience!, the rent it's very expensive , the management is terrible . The corporate " Aimco" never answer the phone calls. Please don't rent in this place if you don't want to waste your money!.

Don't let the photos fool you. It's all a facade. It has 1.5 stars for a reason, don't do it to yourself. If you are looking for a quiet comfortable place to live in Edgewater, choose a different property. Here's a -short- list of my experience in 2 years here: - The building has a massive roach problem. Look at all the other recent reviews here. Once you sign, you are now sharing an apartment with a roach community. - The entire front of the building has a strong odor of dog poop. - There is constant smell of backed up garbage in the trash chutes. - If you're unlucky and get loud neighbors, you can hear them talking and hear their dogs pacing back and forth all night with the paper thin walls. - Your balcony, if you are unlucky enough to face Aria, will be forever filthy and unusable, coated with a film of dust/dirt from the loud fans located on the ground level. - There is mold and mildew in the units growing in the closets. They will not do anything about it and it poses a health risk. - They have plumbing issues and when a pipe bursts and floods your apartment, they will use an industrial area fan to blow into your unit from the hallway for days on end. - Staff constantly comes into your unit unannounced with no explanation and don't even have the decency to turn the lights off before they leave. - You will pay for the lights and water for the building at rates that increase whenever they see fit, in addition to your own FPL and water. These fees will cost more than your own monthly bills. I lived in a 1-bedroom apartment and paid $30 in FPL, but $50+ in "community electric" fees each month. Same with community water. And community tax. And convenience fees. And parking taxes. And other fees you can't dispute. Patrick will not explain why, but he will promise "it's another company that charges that -- I will look into it" and hopes you forget to follow up. Stay on him like a hound for any resolution, but expect him to give you the runaround. You will either pay them or you will pay them with a late fee attached because he will not respond. Contact me via PM and I can show you the invoices. - You will pay move-out fees of $500+ which is not outlined in the lease. - Patrick will purposely avoid you if he sees you in person because he is a childish and inept manager that is incapable of resolving tenant issues. - The lobby is renovated, but the remainder of the building is not. There is disgusting stained carpet on all tenant floors except pool level. Don't take my word for it -- ask for a tour and see for yourself. - After a few weeks when you realize you made a mistake moving in, you will be charged 4 months rent if you attempt to move out early, plus all community fees for months you didn't even live there. - You will wait 10-15 mins for the elevators daily because they are constantly out of service. - There is always piss in the elevators. - That said, there are homeless people that sleep around the front door. - The "automated" parking system works 2 days out of the week, but on the remaining days you will probably be late for work while you wait 15 mins for the cars in front of you to incessantly push the button and wait for a concierge that is never at the desk for assistance. - The visitor parking fees are astronomical.

When you ask for an explanation, one will not be provided - They will not provide you with a move-out inspection.

Avoid!! They will give you the run around and scam you out of money. Don't be fooled by the online pictures. Definitely one of the worst experiences I have had.

Really not a great place to live. It looks nice from the outside but I am counting down the days until I can get out of here. Elevators rarely are fully operational and some floors have roach infestations. I consistently see apartments pop up that are the exact same as mine and $500 less per month, assuming because people are trying to get out of here quickly

The only good things about this place are the location and lobby. I was kicked out of my first apartment because of renovations had to be done on the 10th floor, which I was given no prior indication of such a thing happening. Of course, this was technically in my contract, and I was lucky the building had another open apartment I could transfer to but if they didn't, I would have been out of luck and in a VERY bad situation. The place is FILLED with roaches. I called pest control multiple times. They flushed, set traps, and I cleaned my apartment thoroughly but there was a ridiculous amount of pests all over. The traps would pick up so many roaches there was a layer of them. And they would still be all over the kitchen and bathroom. I believe the air conditioning is linked to the water. So over the summer, when there are water piping issues that clearly management takes their time to fix, AC doesn't work. The amenities are old and faulty. My washing machine once broke down and it and the wall started leaking everywhere and for no reason other than it was old. The service request crew is timely and fast, but the only fix for this flooding was a big fan blowing for literally days and hoping it dried. If you still decide to stay here, they will nickel and dime you for everything. Make sure you mark EVERY single scuff or scratch you see in your place when you move in. Even the smallest little scratch the apartment has, they will charge you absurd painting charges upon move out. Make sure before you sign off on anything, you get all your keys, etc. I was told I would be getting 2 sets of keys, only got one, and never got the second even after asking for them repeatedly. Yet I still got charged for "missing keys" after move out. Keep track of every single thing!!

Do not ever live here. I lived here for 2 years--- the pool was filthy and filled with cigarette butts, the staff was sketchy, the managers claimed some bogus rug damage -- kept my security deposit which I found out they used later to put in wood floors. The never attended to simple requests-- I lived there for 2 months without washer and dryer because management dragged their heels on fixing it. Disgusting place with equally disgusting and dishonest staff.

DO NOT MOVE HERE!!! It is a dangerous community. There have been several break-ins both in the garage and in the apartments. Building has no security, no cameras, and the team will do nothing to assist you in the case of an emergency. The community regularly lies about the events that occur when telling the residents do diminish how bad things actually are.

Terrible building. Terrible customer service. Expect approx $100 of additional unauthorized tax & fees every month (i.e. "cooling charge"- $35.00.... what is a cooling charge?!?!) Dog poop and pee EVERYWHERE, pool deck, elevators, hall way. Urinating off the balcony. I had something urninate off the balcony above me 4 seperate times, one of which was while I had company and we were eating breakfast on the balcony... Management was aware and DID NOTHING! They will open your mail. The parking garage... and the elevators... they take forever. Elevators are ALWAYS BROKEN. So plan for an extra 15 mins just to get an elevator and ANOTHER 15 to get out of the shitty parking garage with cheap huge plastic speed bumps every few feet. Good luck walking up 40 flights of stairs because the elevators will be out more often than not. False fire alarms constantly. So residents always stay in their apartments. Maintanence personnel will enter your apartment unauthorized. Appointments are not upheld. Procedures and fees were waived for MALES I knew in the building, but not for females. Hope INC, housing discrimanation nonprofit has been contacted, they are investigating for a legal case. Would NOT reccomend.

EDIT: The response from the "owner" below is a great example of how the only reliable aspect of Bay Parc is that they will regurgitate the same generic "explanations" over and over again. While, not addressing specifics, deflecting accountability, and referencing phantom clauses in the extremely vaguely worded lease. I'm happy to attach the lease I was provided and a break down of the monthly charges they send. There is no mention of any of these fees and they were not disclosed to me when I asked before signing. As a result, questions I asked before signing, all turned out to be baseless and false. For example, the pet policy for service animals, as well as flat out lies ie: that the internet and electric was included. Not only is it not included, but Bay Parc charges their own electric fees (separate from what you pay to FPL). For instance, they charge a monthly "central cooling fee" that fluctuates but will always be a minimum of $40 (the basis was never explained) as well as a "energy conservation fee". Then you pay your electric separately. Keep in mind, each unit isn't monitored individually, but that's the "explanation" as to why it fluctuates. As far as the roach infestation that reached me on the 36th floor... I did notify at the first sight, it was hard not to as I was greeted by roaches crawling out of the kitchen sink drain to greet me. It within an hour of moving that I had 4 roach sightings. It was common to see roaches in the hallways or on the walls of the apartments. They switched third party pest control companies twice and yet it remained. Furthermore, I had to beg the staff to bring skimmer to fumigate my apartment. It took 5 days for someone to come. I also have pictures of this if anyone is interested as well. Finally, my car was broken into twice in two years living there, so no, security is not a priority. The gate is constantly broken and stuck in the entrance position. There is no security and they removed the overnight staff in the lobby. They let anyone in don't ask where they are going or who they are. But they will walk them to the elevator and allow them access to any floor of their choosing. Moreover, multiple times there was blood splatter in the elevator. Never acknowledged or addressed. And finally, there was a shooting in the building, you can find the swarm of police and corresponding video on Instagram on @onlyindade. BUT they are very on top of ticketing visitor parking, so maybe that's what she is referencing. ---------------------------- This place has wasted enough time and energy of mine for 3 lifetimes. So, I won't go into details about the many outrageous issues and problems I had here. It's a beautiful property that has been completely squandered. Over run by roaches, crime, filth. The only thing that is consistent is the exorbitant surprise fees, that are constantly added and/or increased with no explanation. These people take nickel and dime-ing to an unimaginable level. Save your time, money, and sanity. Do not live here. It's just not even close to being worth it.

Thanks to our management whole our building is full of Airbnb guests.. and people ho are working on desk see everything but they just don't wanna do nothing.

Take the good referrals as a grain of sand. The management sends emails for freebies for them. No, I do not recommend them at all for the time being. While there seemingly has been substantial improvements to the facility, there's a complete lack of privacy from property management and its staff. They have been coming into my apartment on a weekly basis when I have not been gone and do not listen to the fact that a resident wants an appointment first. I have resorted to buying a camera for my apartment and threatening to call police should they enter without an appointment time. Last week I was in the shower and someone knocked. A vendor (pest control) was coming into my apartment without an appointment and without building staff. I was told by maintenance (who was down the hall) & later by property manager he had the wrong apartment but he clearly had the key to my home. Aside from all of this, I have had people consistently park in my parking spot (that I have leased and pay for). Security & property management so not tow the cars and instead ask me to park on a different floor. I will not be renewing my lease after it is up and advise anyone NOT to move in here. Please note that this is the only bad review I've given in my life online. That being said, I'm sure you can feel my frustration. I will be posting it in other review forums. As I'm beside myself with the lack of professionalism at this point.

I wait for 10 minutes or more and nobody stay in front desk to ask. Like 3 persons after and before on me don't receive any attention.

Had an appointment with Ryan to see a 2 bedroom 2 bath at 3:30. Showed up at 3:30 and was told by another rep that Ryan was busy with other clients. Waited around for about 10 minutes and then left. I get it, things get busy - but at least acknowledge that the people you scheduled for a certain time (and confirmed with that day) are there. If I'm going to (potentially) spend over $43,000 over the course of a year on rent - i'd anticipate adherence to an appointment, or at least a notification that you'll be late. We received neither so we'll seek a residence elsewhere (luckily there are a multitude of options in the area).

The location of this apartment is amazing, and I'll greatly miss my view of the Biscayne Bay. The place is generally clean and safe as well. Repairs are generally taken care of quickly. Unfortunately, we had to make 12 maintenance requests over our 7 months stay for the recurring issue of our air conditioner not working and the ancient, busted up washer and dryer not working. They were completed promptly though, even though they had to keep coming back every couple of weeks to a month. The package situation and the security people at the front desk are awful. Waiting for the elevators in a relatively newish building is also pretty annoying. The management here is absolutely, 100 percent terrible. Problems with them started with the $100 in monthly fees tacked on to the bill that we were not told about up front. Then came the nightmare move in, where we had no idea where to pull up the moving truck, and the roughly 8 maintenance trucks that were in the way of the moving dock, and the hour delay to get the moving elevator available and the door open. Then a week later there was a bomb scare in the lobby, stuff happens, but we weren't made aware of what was going on until a week later. After that was neighbor noise with loud music until 3am. I couldn't get it resolved with the neighbor, or the management, so I resorted to calling the police (they have better things to do in Miami). That still didn't fix that problem though. I also had a billing issue that cost an additional $100 extra month for the final two months that was never resolved (keep in mind, now I'm paying $200 more than expected per month). I ultimately spoke with the corporate people directly, but some things I guess are better just paying and calling a loss so I don't have to deal with a debt collector down the road. Unfortunately, I had to extend a month and two days, which cost an additional $440. I am dreading the move out situation and have pretty much no expectation of getting the deposit back, given that an otherwise standard fresh coat of paint will cost us roughly $200. I really don't recommend living here.

ABSOLUTELY AVOID!! AND ALSO AVOID GIVING THE DOWN PAYMENT TO MAIDEL, IF SHE ASKS YOU, BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR THE $700 DOWN PAYMENT FROM MAIDEL FOR TWO WEEKS, BUT SHE HAS DISAPPEARED AND DOESN'T EVEN RESPOND TO EMAILS AND THE PHONE ANYMORE! THEY ARE INCORRECT AND REALLY NOT SERIOUS!

I moved in August 2016. Everything was cool. Had a pool, quiet lounge area with wifi, pool, and a nice gym. About 6 months in, all of it was tore down without notice. People sign leases for not only the apartment, but all of the amenities. They could have at least did one project at a time. Construction is being done every single day, it is loud. If you work overnight i feel bad for you. The elevators are constantly going down. Someone broke into my car twice, and the garage is supposed to be secured. The only thing good out of this place is the location. There is a park across the street, biscayne bay, publix, and many hotels just in case you have visitors.

I got my motorcycle stolen from the property garage. The gates were open all night because they do not function in windy situations. The resolution of the cameras is terrible and we could not read the license plate of the van that stole my motorcycle. They most likely took the time to use a really loud grinder to break the huge security chain I had. The security guard on duty that night was not informed by management that the gates were open that night. There have been several vehicle break-ins and stolen motorcycles in the past year and nothing has been done to improve the situation. Elevators often break resulting in long waiting periods.

DO NOT MOVE HERE. ONLY ONE ELEVATOR WORKING even though there are 5. Be prepared to wait 20 minutes or more to get on the elevator. Lived here for 2 years and elevators are always broke.

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE Management is horrible, administration is horrible, do NOT rent here. THIS PLACE WILL NICKEL AND DIME YOU - RUN AWAY Lots of Hidden Fees , poor appliances ... nothing is as it seems. The place is overpriced for what you get and the hidden fees will add up to over $100 a month. You get charged for a "cooling fee" which is the electric for the lobbys A/C. Your bill each month is way more than you thought it would be when you signed the lease. Honest advice, its not in a bad area at all, but this building is not worth it. Do yourselves a favor and move elsewhere. We will not be renewing our lease.

So Yelp removed my review of Bay Parc. They say it was offensive! Offensive for only telling the truth roach infested building. What suckers. This is not defamation.

Rent is too high considering the next door construction wont let you sleep past 7:30 and is goig to cover most of the view

Scheduled an appointment for tour and my tour was canceled 5 min before arrival. The reason was " we don't have model apartments " , than I asked about tour just for amenities and building... I also was not able to do that!! THANK YOU SO MUCH LEASING OFFICE FOR THE TOUR. By the way , It was ANTHONY with who I was speaking. He said he gonna send me a videos or pictures of apartments. Soo what , I got NOTHING. Means Leasing office staff do not care about people who live there. It is not a cheap place but Leasing staff behave like they work in highway 1 star hotel for people who spend 1 hours with......... thats all. Thank you. Hopefully, you not gonna delete that review and people will be notified .

You call them, no one picks up, just an automated message that says "they'll text you back as soon as they can" and then it hangs up. They don't even get your number. That's a bad sign already I'm X-ing this one off my list.

Update: THEY CAN 'LEGALLY' ADD FEES AFTER YOU'VE SIGNED THE LEASE! I've been in this lease for over a year and just now there is an EXTRA $540.00 a year for parking when we already pay $100 per month for parking. We got two weeks notice that our vehicle would be towed if we did not get registered for the updated parking bullshit fees that add an extra $45 per month for parking. Seriously, do not waste your time living here. I've lived here two years now and it is such a waste of money. Not worth it at all; looking forward to moving next fall. (If it was at all possible for me to move after the first year I would have in a heartbeat). Elevators are always broken (such fun walking up 38 flights of stairs with a puppy, groceries, and purse), ridiculous arbitrary charges every month that constantly fluctuate, rent prices are through the roof even though this is the most run down building in the area, hot tubs never work, internet in the lounge is garbage (I've reached out multiple times to ask for this to be fixed...glad to see all those charges I pay are going toward nothing), gym is made up of odds and ends pieces- most of which are broken, the list goes on. In short, you are better off renting from literally anywhere or anyone else than Bay Parc. It's livable, but the frustrations are just not worth the trouble.

Do not rent here! This building is infested with roaches! I have spoken to the community manager, Patrick about this and he did not even care or apologize. Very poor treatment to be the community manager. His assistant did try to help and find a solution to the issue but honestly no amount of "flushing" will get rid of the roaches. Every time pest control comes you have to take out your ENTIRE kitchen including pots pans and clean all the drawers out as if it was easy to do. Takes around 3 hours to do. Spent all day yesterday doing that for pest control to show up today 4 hours after they were suppose to and them not be able to spray since I was not home and my dog was not tied (never told me to). There are roaches all over my apartment can't even eat in the apartment or store food of the amount of roaches there is. This building should focus its efforts on dealing with this issue rather than investing into its pool and gym which don't get me wrong are great. I have spoken with other tenants and they all seem to have the same issue. The pest control does not help control the situation honestly its so bad you can even see in the picture below there is one INSIDE the kitchen stove. Aimco needs to take this situation into their hands ASAP. This building will not hear the end of this issue from our behalf until they allow me to break the lease or FIX the issue beyond just fumigating it every week cause clearly that is not the solution. Extremely disappointed to find that this "luxury building" or so they claim is infested with roaches.

We stayed for 1 and 1/2 year paying 1 bedroom for $1800 and now they are charging and over price extra fee after we left for some little scratches that were made before we received the apt. It looks like you are getting a good deal in a beautiful area but in reality you will end up paying too much money for "extra fees" even after you left.

I lived in Bay Parc for 2 years i was very happy I have never had a problem with the apartment or the place I payed my rent always on time when my second lease was going to end I start to look with the manager to move into the building to a different apartment. we couldn't find nothing I can pay so I decided to gave them a moving notice and I move out. I moved after a 32 days move out notice now they are charging me more for the move out fee than for the whole rent I used to pay. This people are extorting me to pay if I left the building is because I don't have the money to pay those expensive apartments so now they want more than a month from me even that I move out a month ago. They always find the way to take your deposit away and that is not enough they want to punish you and charging you an exaggerated amount after that. Im going to look for help this is not fair

Better off at Quantum of the Bay (1900 North Bayshore Drive). They are more professional than these people.

realtors!! do not take your tenants there!! they will steal them right in front of you and you won't be able to say anything and leave with zero dollars!!

I was visiting the bay parc facility and the dirty corner bathrooms in a dusty corridor were a shame that the cleaning service is of very poor quality for such an elegant place.

Stop this lady from feeding the pigeons. The shit all over balconies waiting for her to feed them!! Management needs to do something immediately please!!

If only 0 stars was an option. This is a roach community run by thieves. Be smart, read the low-scoring reviews and notice how many likes they have, from previous residents. The truth about this place is written all over this review page and it's as clear as day. Don't make the mistake of letting these people trap you because the lobby looks nice because you WILL regret it. Worst property in Downtown/Edgewater by far for the highest price, complete with unavoidable and very-well-hidden-until-you-sign-the-lease fees. AVOID.

The only good things about this place are the location and lobby. I was kicked out of my first apartment because of renovations had to be done on the 10th floor, which I was given no prior indication of such a thing happening.

Even the smallest little scratch the apartment has, they will charge you absurd painting charges upon move out. Make sure before you sign off on anything, you get all your keys, etc. I was told I would be getting 2 sets of keys, only got one, and never got the second even after asking for them repeatedly. Yet I still got charged for "missing keys" after move out. Keep track of every single thing!!

WARNING! DANGER! DO NOT LIVE HERE! If I could rate this place ZERO STARS I would. The level of unprofessional behavior by staff, leasing office personnel and the property management company, Aimco, has been profound. If you live here expect to pay through your teeth for sub-par living space in a mismanaged or rather un-managed environment. The building manager, a Patrick Mcgarry, for all intent's and purposes does not exist leaving you to deal with whomever is available - good luck. I lived in bay parc for over a year and never saw the man. Maintenance will enter without notice or permission, there are serious pest control issues (roaches), and the bathtubs haven't been replaced in a decade they just paint the bottom to make them look fresh. This fresh look does not last very long and basic cleaning and upkeep becomes harder and harder. The garage is an unsafe nightmare, gates never work right, reserved spots get taken and they tow residents cars at will and given the disarray of the property office you need a miracle to not have problems on a continuous basis. At move-out you'll pay $90 for them to claim they professionally cleaned your already clean apartment , and over $200 to paint the place with the stuff they have sitting around. Save yourself time, money and aggravation live somewhere else, Opera tower, The Grand are both right there and way better. And never live at an Aimco property.

Having lived here nearly 2 years, it has been one of the worst experiences of any property I've stayed on. Previously living on an Aimco property, I should have known what to expect: poor guest/management relations, elevators always broken down, numerous expenses including "clean air" ( when it smells like an 90's hotel in the hallway) and ridiculous rent for having noise in the building constantly. I personally work nights, sleep into the afternoon, and with floors being redone and construction starting merely after I get a chance to fall asleep, my days are long and tiring. Having to pay nearly 1800 a month, including 100 a month for my support animal, I find this building to be ludicrous on the charges/guest satisfaction. The building management do not respond promtly. My a/c was out for 3 days, and not even an apology, or any attempt to compensate for an amenity i pay..also cooling charges and utility charges for the building?? Why should that come out of our pockets to pay for the business expenses? Every operating business has those expenses, but you dont see us getting charged to go into publix and paying their electric bills, except for the purchases we make I.e our rent. The maintenance staff are all kind, but with one only speaking english, it very much limits to just him in any situation I need, without frustration. The day I moved in, my mother got knocked out and rolled down the gate entry after following valet attendant to retrieve something out of her car, and the gate came down on her head. One thing after another, and that definitely was not a great way to start my loving experience here. I Will not be resigning a lease, nor will I recommend anyone to live on an Aimco property.

DON'T DARE MOVE INTO THESE APARTMENTS. IN LESS THAN TWO MONTHS I WAS ROBBED 3 TIMES. THEY OPENED MY CAR TWICE AND THEY JUST STOLEN MY MOTORCYCLE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THERE IS NO SECURITY. THE SAME POLICE TOLD US THAT THEY HAD ARRESTED 20 PEOPLE WHO LIVED THERE. THE WORST PLACE IN MIAMI TO LIVE.

Bugs IN The Walls, Crime, Unfriendly Staff, Old Building, Floods, HIDDEN FEES... I could go on. The worst building I have ever lived in. For what you will pay at Bay Parc you can live at newer buildings close to Margaret Pace. Camila (the Property Manager) is rude and that works its way across the entire building. A few of the other team members are kind, but there is only so much they can do. Don't do it! Do your research and see how this building does not take care of problems they have had for years.

The unprofessionalism is astonishing, even past moralistic characteristic. Young, black male, who is a business owner & a restaurant manager, was unable to rent or even take control of his own time while being here. Before I continue, I need to state that this was NEVER about the money, but the devotion to JUSTICE & PEACEFUL LIVING.After subletting and finding out that the tenant was illegally doing so, I went straight to management and notified them of the situation. ("Starr" was with his impregnated wife, and stated he needed someone to take over the lease .)Notifying managers was my BIGGEST mistake. I quickly realized that I didn't fit the "criteria" of the people who lived there. Blonde hair, light skin, and a devotion to blessing sex workers. As I looked around frantically hoping they would give me a chance, bbls & fake bodies overwhelmed me, and not that I'm against it, but diversity is nice, no?MOST IMPORTANT: anyways, after realizing the gist of what was happening, getting told prices "tripled because of market", old lease was gonna end early and a whole bunch of bs, I realized the battle wasn't worth it. EVERYDAY while living there staff made me feel as if I didn't belong, it wasn't good for my soul.When I left for a week for mental health, financial, and stability reasons I came back to an empty apartment. 7k worth of furniture, TVs, expensive clothing and shoes (LV Ferragamo & Yeezys) all trashed. No warning. They had my number, I reached out to to EVERYONE, and they waited until I left to throw all of my belongings away. Without a Sherriff and illegally because they KNEW the process to sue them is too hectic and not worth it.They are bullies, and today I have nothing. No clothes, or anything, just square one.If you're a pale old wealthy person who likes young people and want a safe spot to play then this is for you.If you're searching for peace and tranquillity, stay away.Honorable mentions: Balcony views are that of another building. Trash with 2 BIG FANS are always blowing the smell of garbage in your place.Roach infested, literally. And I've sealed off corners in the place, still got in. As if they breed in the walls. Pest control does nothing.They cover all defects with paint, nothing is ever renovated. The smell of dog piss and shit exfoliates your face every time you enter an elevator. It's about the money and even too much of that won't get you blessed with Bayparc's entirety.The one black guy who works there, looks like a runaway slave that's happy he's not picking cotton for the rest of his life.Bayparc I wish I could say, but it really hasn't been a pleasure. Thank you, I PRAY AND HOPE management reads.cjw

Moved in because the amenities and the view were so inviting. We had a pretty horrible experience. We didn't find the reviews on Yelp till after we had moved in but I have read through the negative reviews on here and we experienced mostly everything that people are talking about, and more. For example walking into an elevator with a pool of blood on the floor because someone got stabbed in it. Roaches, dog shit and piss everywhere, loud music at all hours..they raided someone's apartment while we were there and the SWAT team set off a smoke bomb that shook the whole building. We ended our lease early, and they held the full deposit - still totally worth leaving. I wouldn't let anyone I care about live here.

A dog abuser's paradise... management lets it slide
