Detailed Information for Bay Parc Plaza Apartments

Exercise extreme caution when considering properties listed by the horrible company “AIR Communities” on rental platforms. While their promotional visuals might appear enticing, prospective tenants should be forewarned of a multitude of hidden fees. Beyond the baseline rent, there are significant charges for amenities such as parking, water, and mail services, which often require an additional subscription. The following are crucial observations derived from reviews by past tenants across multiple platforms. It is imperative that you review these insights meticulously to avoid potential regrettable experiences.

Here is 20 reasons why you SHOULD NOT! consider moving into Bay Parc Plaza Apartments:

  1. Overpriced Rent and Hidden Fees: Rent increases after the initial lease period, with additional hidden fees for minor wear and tear and strict move-out notices leading to high charges.
  2. Poor Noise Insulation: Residents report noise from neighboring apartments, nearby construction, and external disturbances at various hours.
  3. Unmaintained Common Areas: Common spaces are often dirty, non-functional, and inadequately maintained, such as underheated hot tubs.
  4. Lack of Safety and Security Measures: Instances of theft, car break-ins, frequent elevator incidents, and the absence of security cameras and personnel are concerning.
  5. Delayed Maintenance Requests: Slow responses, prolonged repair times, and questionable quality of repairs lead to repeated issues.
  6. Unfriendly Management and Staff: Management is seen as unresponsive and rude, with negative experiences reported with specific staff members.
  7. Poor Quality of Appliances: Malfunctioning and outdated appliances in the apartments.
  8. Insufficient Heating/Cooling: Ineffective heating and cooling systems, with complaints about associated costs.
  9. Difficulties in Package Delivery: Inconsistencies in delivery, with packages being stolen or misplaced.
  10. Unpleasant Odors and Pest Issues: Persistent odors and reports of pest infestations.
  11. Insufficient Parking Spaces: Limited parking availability and reports of car thefts.
  12. Inconsistent Internet and Wi-Fi Connectivity: Frequent internet disconnections and slow speeds.
  13. Unsuitable Environment for Children and Pets: Concerns about safety for children and strict pet policies.
  14. Elevator Malfunctions: Persistent issues with broken and small-capacity elevators.
  15. Structural Issues: Uneven floors, poor quality materials, and older styled windows allowing wind entry.
  16. Strict and Inconvenient Policies: Strict visitor policies and inconvenient rules, such as smoking restrictions.
  17. Misleading Representation: Discrepancies between the advertised and actual living experience, with suspicions of fake positive reviews.
  18. Loss of Personal Property: Reports of personal property being stolen during maintenance visits.
  19. Inadequate Space: Apartments perceived as smaller than presented, with limited space in communal areas.
  20. Lack of Communication and Transparency: Failure to communicate changes in policies and unresponsiveness to communications.

It’s essential to keep these points in mind and possibly look for other rental options that provide not just a decent apartment but also a pleasant overall living experience.

There is really only 1 word to describe these guys: Crooks. The front office lied to me before I signed a lease that the construction next to the building would not reach my balcony. After i signed a lease the construction went up passed my balcony and i was stuck staring at a wall for 1 year. (seen in photo). The office gave me NO warning this would happen and specifically told me it wouldn't. They lied to make money on the unit. I thought to myself, maybe they didn't know this was going to happen, but surely they'll work with me to find a new unit, bc they screwed up when they told me about the construction. But no. They refused to work with me. They won't reduce my rent, move me to a new place or even let me break my lease without maximum penalty. I've called lawyers and we are working on a class action law suit to sue them. If you're excited about the area like I would look into Melody Tower which is a brand new building a couple streets away. The area is great but this building IS NOT your answer. (In Response to below) I spoke to Jose initially. He's the one that told me there's nothing they can do. Even though, there is an empty unit 3 stories up that I can move into. Crooks.

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.

Before we start, DO NOT MOVE HERE, it is a waste of money, at first we thought it was a good option, but as time went by we saw that it was not what we expected, cockroaches everywhere, smell of marijuana throughout the building, corridors, elevators, lobby, to fix something in the apartment you have to wait too long after you make the request, there are 5 elevators and you have to wait 15, 20 minutes to go up and down, they are never all enabled, and most importantly , the attention of the office staff is terrible, you can never talk to them to report a problem, days can go by and they are not interested in anything. In short, don't waste your money, we didn't even have a year in the property and we decided to leave, it's terrible.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

I lived here for a year and it was the worst apartments I lived in my life. First the charge for pest control but it is infested with fleas and roaches. I had to remove my dogs from the property to protect from fleas and since moving them out they have been flea free. Second the maintenance will enter in your apartment whenever they feel like with no warning or knock. For example I was in the bathroom and they just walked in. Third they randomly charge you common room fees (ex. Elevators, hallways etc) and range from 100-300 that seem to randomly be added to your rent. Like isn't the 1800 your getting for my one bedroom enough. Keep it mind my view is the wall of aria! If I knew then what I know now I wouldn't let the nice pool deck and lobby fool me into signing a lease at a subpar apartment that claims to be luxury.

The only positive thing about this building is the location. The noise is HORRIBLE. Between the construction during the day and people partying at night there is no way to rest. Management is not helpful at all in addressing noise complaints, which has lead to many calls with the police for noise reports. The elevators go down frequently. I always have fruit flies in my apartment during the summer. I also have seen roaches in my apartment, which has freaked me out. It will take days for maintenance to respond to calls. I called for an after-hours emergency of water leaking from my refrigerator on a Friday night. I was told someone would be there within an hour. No one ever came. It was not until Monday when I called the office to complain that someone showed up. Like I said, management is not good at all. I have emailed several times, and never get a response. I even emailed the address provided in the response on the Google Reviews that management has left and still never got a response. The company has done a really good job making the lobby area look nice, but don't let that fool you. It's not worth all the aggravations that come with signing a lease.

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.

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.

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.

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 .

Worst experience I've ever had in a building, now that I read the reviews I realize I'm not the only one who hates living here. The experience with customer service is good before signing the contract, once you sign it is as if you did not exist, the elevators never work, you have to wait 20 minutes to go up or down, the apartment did not have points to turn on the light, I had to buy lamps for every corner of the house and as if that were not enough they limited my visits. The view is very nice and the pool is the same, but they are not worth the rent here.

Hello, my husband and I were living 15 months as stipulated in the contract in this condominium from June 2017 until September 2018 ... from the second month of being rented the problems began. problems 1- We were robbed inside the car in the parking lot of the condominium where it supposedly existed or there is security, it is all a lie ... starting that we saw every person that lives there that gives FEAR. 2-They entered any person from the street and put the car without caring that this parking space already belonged to the residents and we passed many times and nobody to anything and paying two parking spaces each square $ 120 3- Horrible the smell of porro both in the elevator and in the hallway of the floor and pool. 4- We stayed for a year with a permanent noise in the air conditioning that let us sleep and never fixed anything, when the technician would not find the solution .. The dishwasher did not work well and they did not find what it was. 5-We paid the pesticide control and the cockroaches were on holiday at all times ... and the pesticide control came sometimes and sometimes not ... in the end we always had cockroaches. And finally ... they send you a statement a month before leaving the apartment telling you that they need to know the day we will leave the apartment to do the impecion and if we were to deliver the apartment without cleaning they would charge $ 90 to clean it. We as we are educated and clean people leave the apartment IMPECCABLE !! WITHOUT ANY SCRATCHES IN THE WALLS AND SUPER CLEAN .. THE DAY OF THE IMPETION THAT WE WERE TO CARRY THE KEYS WERE NO LONGER AND WE WERE LEFT TO LEAVE THE KEYS TO LEASE AGENT (ANTONY) AND THE REFUSE TO SEE IN WHAT CONDITIONS WE HAD LEFT THE APARTMENT IN OUR PRESENCE .... WHAT WAS OUR SURPRISE? THEY MADE THE IMPETION IN OUR ABSENCE ... AND 15 DAYS THEY CALLED US TO TELL US THAT THEY WILL COLLECT US $ 300 FROM THE MONEY OF THE DEPOSIT BECAUSE WE HAD NOT HIRED A PROFESSIONAL CLEANER AND SO WAS. !!! AS WE ARE PEOPLE WITH VALUES AND SINCERE WE MAKE THEM KNOW THAT THEY HAVE MUCH CARE AND DO NOT LET THEMSELVES ... SENORS IT IS NOT WORTH TO PAY $ 2200 AND HAVE A HEAVY AND UNPLEASANT ATTENTION AND WE DO NOT DESERVE TO LIVE IN THOSE CONDITIONS AND THAT THEY STEAL US. WE HAD LEFT THE MICROWAVE, REFRIGERANT FRIDGE. THAT WAS YOUR ARGUMENT TO STEAL US $ 300 FROM THE DEPOSIT. I'LL UPLOAD PHOTOS TO SEE HOW IT WAS THAT WE LEFT THE APARTMENT BEFORE LEAVE AND THAT WE DO NOT DESERVE TO BE TREATED LIKE THAT WAY AND THAT THEY HAVE STEALED US. ADVICE I GIVE YOU: 1-RECORD EVERYTHING YOU TELL THEM. 2-MAKE VIDEO SINCE THEY ENTER THE APARTMENT 3-DO NOT LEAVE THE APARTMENT CLEAN BEFORE YOU LEAVE BECAUSE YOU'LL BE STEALED EVEN IF YOU TRY TO LEAVE CLEAN .. AS THEY'LL BE STEALING YOU LEAVE IT IN BAD CONDITIONS AND DO NOT LOSE TIME AND MONEY IN LEAVING IT AS WE DID. I PUT A PHOTO OF THE $ 750 THAT WE GAVE DEPOSIT THIS WAS WHAT WE WERE RETURNED WITHOUT REASON NONE. SENSORS ATTENTION! THEY ARE THE TESTS SO THAT THEY DO NOT DECEIVE THEM.

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 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. The assistant manager 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.

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..

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).

Terrible staff in all levels. They look nice when you come in and when they have your money nobody seems to care. Our bike was stolen and the manager said "that always happens, call your insurance". The pool area is always windy, and my daughter got cut in the pool with a glass. The garage door for residents is broken so it is open to anybody. Anyone can come in the building and do whatever they want. Totally unhappy and waiting for our lease to end to get out of here.

I came to visit this building with high expectations to call it home, but left truly disappointed and won't recommend anyone of my network to consider living here. Everything started fine but the person who was giving us the tour to myself and wife called Fredny Fleury made derogatory, and disrespectful comments during the tour and even after his follow up call. He compared having a baby to having a dog. Something you shouldn't say in front of a pregnant woman. He called me and after I mentioned that I have an emotional support animal, he's answer was "you can buy anything on the internet nowadays" what's his criteria to believe I bought a fake ESA letter over the internet? I found this rude, and immature. I believe management from this building should give proper training to their staff about customer service, and sensitivity in the workplace. Some comments although perhaps unintended are non acceptable and give a bad impression of the entire business.

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.

Lived there for a year. Management is friendly and I guess they do the best they can but my next door neighbor smoked almost everyday inside his apartment, which is "prohibited", complained multiple times and nothing happened. Eventually, the other neighbors left as well. No teal screening on the residents other than "financial" apparently. There were multiple crimes, dealers and other shady stuff happening. And if that wasn't enough, people let their dogs poo and pee in the motor lobby which makes the main entrance stink and completely disgusting. Again, management is friendly but living there brought more problems than peace of mind

The worst experience I have ever had in a building, now that I read the reviews I realize that I am not the only one who hates living here. The experience with customer service is good before signing the contract, once you sign it is as if you did not exist, the elevators never work, you have to wait 20 minutes to be able to go up or down, the apparatus did not have points to turn on the light, I had to buy lamps for every corner of the house and as if that were not enough they limited my visits. The view is very nice and the pool is the same, but they are not worth the rent here.

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.

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.

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!

EDIT: I just got a bill for $365 on top of our security deposit for damages such as "needing to paint the scuffs on the walls" 6 months after we moved out. This is s disgusting corrupt business that is just after your money- STAY AWAY!!!!!! They may respond to these public messages but attack you behind the scenes. Terrible experience from start to finish: When we signed our lease we were promised that the apartment would be cleaned and several repairs would be made before we moved in. Unfortunately a week later we moved into a dirty apartment with a washer/dryer that didn't work properly, light bulbs that still needed to be replaced, and damaged/scuffed walls and doors. We were also told that we would be able to have packages delivered the day we moved in. Unfortunately due to the LuxerOne system which needed to be set up ahead of time, and a security employee who was stealing packages, we had over $1000 in packages disappear. Bay Parc was not helpful in recovering our packages, and while they fired the employee, and LuxerOne had video evidence of the theft, Bay Parc's management would not allow LuxerOne to release the video to the police, so we were not able to get our packages back. Read the fine print on your lease: our $1650 apartment ended up costing us over $1740 a month after they added charges for things like communal space air-conditioning, despite the fact that only the lobby is kept cold (too cold in my opinion) and the elevators and upper floor hallways are very warm, especially in the supper. During our time living at Bay Parc, the elevators were frequently not working, and the elevators and lobby frequently had dog pee or poop due to tenants not respecting common space/having control over their animals. Another huge issue we had was with our neighbors smoking. From the moment our new neighbors moved in, they smoked like chimneys and if we ever opened our balcony doors our whole apartment would stink. Bay Parc is supposed to be a smoke-free building; they call it "a breath of fresh air." What a lie! There are often folks smoking right out front and in their apartments, and that makes the carpeted hallways smell (as does lingering pet urine). The location is great- next to a Parc and a Publix, and from the 39th floor, we had pretty great views, but the unit was dated and the management was rude, unhelpful, and unresponsive when we needed them most. After move-out Bay Parc invented a bunch of charges so as to avoid giving us our security deposit. They gave us charges over the amount of our security deposit- these jerks wanted us to give them more money. For example, they charged us for the scuffs on the walls- the ones that we asked to be removed before we moved in but they weren't. Shouldn't they be cleaning between tenants anyway? They also refused to help us with getting our utilities shut down. In general, a terrible experience. We got bad vibes almost immediately after signing- our once responsive leasing agent started ignoring our calls. In summary: -management does not care about current tenants, just about acquiring new tenants -good location -prepare to be nickle and dimed -most units are dated -lots of smokers (including Patrick, the manager) -package system is horrible -carpeted hallways are ugly, smelly, and not air-conditioned

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.

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

HORRIBLE - RUN AWAY NOW! You come to this place and think "oh this is nice for the price" then you move in and reality hits. The walls are paper thin, the hallways are hot and stink, and there is constant hammering and drilling everyday. This is in addition to the hidden fees you are going to run into. All the hidden fees add up to be at least $100. Yes, they charge a cooling/air conditioner fee. So no matter what they tell you the price at the leasing office, it is a lie. Don't even consider trying to have a pet or a parking space. They will nickel and dime you for every single thing they can. They expect a 60 day move out notice in writing and will charge you well over $2300 per month regardless if you live there or not. The hot tubs are never hot and alarms in the building are constantly going off, shutting down the elevators. I have heard people banging and screaming inside the elevators from being trapped 5 times since living here. The Opera tower, which is directly beside Bay Parc Plaza also has constant alarms going off that you will hear while sitting on your couch or usually laying in bed trying to sleep. The leasing reps will not help you or work with you at all about the constant noise or any issues you may have. The leasing office told me there was no legal limit on how much they can charge for their apartments so they can charge us whatever they want. They will send you to corporate office, which never answers their phone. No one stays here for long and you will see why. Be prepared to be completely robbed of every penny they can get from you. It is only a matter of time before this place has a class-action lawsuit against them for the hidden fees and horrible treatment of their residents.

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.

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.

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.

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 currently live in unit 24F and for months my apartment has been infested in roaches. The funny thing is that I can see roaches coming out of the AC ventilation fan, which shows that there is clearly a roach problem in all the building. I had the terminex team come in and do a deep floos and still that has not solved the issue. In addition, my unit has been fumigated various times. Whenever I bring the issue to the community manager named Patrick Mcgary, he just says to submit again a service request. Today they were supposed to come in and they did not. My sister who was there waiting for them said they did not show up. This building management team from Mcgary to the Aimco property manager for Florida called Tanner Sheehan are very good at providing mediocre customer service. I regret renewing my lease with this building. Although I must say the leasing staff from Anthony Wiseman to the cleaning crew are the only positive aspect about this building. If you are looking to rent avoid this place at all cost as all this company wants is to take your money and charge you extra fees under the table. They probably want to make up for the court fees they had to pay Airbnb after they tried to sue them in California. Avoid renting at this place at all cost!

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.

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.

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.

I've lived here for a year and a half. Things have steadily declined over that time. This is supposedly a smoke-free building, but that's a joke. Sometimes the hallway is rank with the smell of weed, and don't try to sit on your balcony. This shouldn't be surprising, though: This place is filled with dealers doing business in the lobby, the driveway, and the park across the street. I've never lived anywhere that had more evictions for non-payment. People leave refuse outside the garbage chutes, leading to the roach problems mentioned in other reviews. The elevators rarely all work at the same time. The garage is a raceway. I've almost been hit several times, both in my car and on foot. And, there's no noise control. Management has cut back on quality housekeeping of public areas as well as the advertised 24-hour security. Other than being dog friendly, there's really little positive about this property. Management promises changes but never delivers. As soon as our lease is up, we're out of here. Do yourself a favor and stay away!

I've lived here for several years. Although there have been some improvements to the building, they seem to have been done without any real thought, and are done in a half-assed fashion. For example, the elevator upgrades have not made elevator traffic any better - instead it's a confusing system where passengers are "grouped" together but it's not efficient. The pavers in front of the building are loose, especially right in front of the entrance doorway, so it's only a matter of time until someone trips and falls on them. The ongoing construction (at a painstaking pace) means that construction workers monopolize elevators and the elevators are often filthy dirty. The halls which haven't been upgraded have dirty smelly carpets. The stench from the trash chute circulates through the whole hallway. What idiot decided it was a good idea to install white tile on the floors of a busy apartment building which is dog-friendly? The floors are always so dirty looking, and the cleaning staff just swabs the floor with their mops, spreading the dirt up onto the walls. And there are roaches, so many roaches. Then there are security problems - at night, the front desk staff is often gone for great periods of time, leaving the lobby completely unattended. The homeless people in the area know this, so they can be found sleeping just outside the building, and I've seen them sleeping on the chairs/sofa in the lobby a few times. They also enjoy using the bathroom facilities which are on the first floor, without anyone stopping them. The set up of the front desk, which has no access to the elevator lobby unless the staff jumps the desk or walks all the way around the hallway is just stupid. It has taken this place literally MONTHS to try to install a gate system for residents to enter the parking lot, but it's still not fully operational, so the gates are frequently open all night long, leaving residents' cars vulnerable to break-in. You get nickle-and-dimed to death with extra charges on your bill ("cooling fee," pest control, water, parking, sewage, even a BILLING FEE - that's right, they bill you for the privilege of getting a bill!!!). There is a review here about someone feeding the pigeons on the balcony, and the review said that an email will be sent to all residents asking them to stop. NOPE, no such email was ever sent. If you want to get the A/C filter changed for your unit, (which should be done monthly) you can't just get one from the maintenance staff, you have to submit a request through the on-line portal, schedule a time for them to come and install it. What a pain the neck. I haven't moved out yet, but based on other reviews, I fully expect to be ripped off when I do leave this place.In addition, there are a lot of shady people who have moved in lately - don't be surprised if you get on the elevator and find some big guy looming over young women wearing hooker clothes - looks like human trafficking to me. And don't be surprised if you get on the elevator and it reeks of marijuana, even though this is supposed to be a smoke-free building. I came down early one morning and found a whole congregation of seedy looking people hanging out in the lobby, drinking and carrying on, with the security guard joining in!There are a lot of dogs in the building that are not supposed to be here (pit bulls, german shepherds, huskies, for example) according to the on-line breed restriction list. There should be pet cleanup products stashed on the elevators for when the dogs have an accident - it can happen, but at least then it would be easier for the owners to clean up the mess. A lot of dog owners let their dogs use the bathroom right outside the front door in the landscaping, making the place reek of urine.Also, though this isn't really management's fault, but whether you are on the north or south side of the building, be prepared for a lot of LOUD noise all night, especially over the weekend, as the sounds of some of your obnoxious thoughtless neighbors and nearby dance clubs partying all night long reverberates across the buildings. The building does have a good location, and it's nice that it's close to publix, there is a convenience store downstairs and the gym/pool areas are ok. There is a doggie daycare place which looks awesome if you have a dog. The lockers do make it easy to get deliveries of packages. The maintenance staff is pretty responsive. But these few positives do NOT make up for the huge numbers of negatives at this increasingly low-class building.

If you like to pricy rent with roaches then this is the apt for you. They have sprayed, flushed my apartment - all infective! The first 5 are from post pest control. I have emailed corporate to NO avail. Location is the only good thing. I refused to live like this. This is not defaming this what is going that can't be fixed. The pest control guy said he did three floors plus 15 additional units. Don't be fooled by the lobby. It stops there.

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.

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.

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE, WORST PLACE EVER, DON'T RENT HERE!!!!!! I would like to share several inconveniences that my wife and I have experienced at Bay Parc Plaza right after we moved in. To list a few: - No Pool Access We have no pool access or Jacuzzi - right in summer time they offer the Flamingo pool, but it's just a bother, go to front desk, count amount of people (8 top), ask for bracelets, use your time and gas to drive through the traffic to south beach and pay 10 dollars for valet parking; so can't actually count that as an amenity they currently have. - Elevators Issues They get stuck all the time Long wait for elevator Cleaning personnel and contractors use the regular elevators one instead of service elevator to move cleaning equipment and heavy machinery, making it very uncomfortable to use. - Garbage Disposal Issues Sometimes the stench of the garbage disposal on the hall is really strong making the transit very unpleasant. - Gym Issues They build a temporary gym with only a few equipments, it's way too small and the working hours makes (6am-10pm) it inconvenient to use for working late people like myself. Movie Screening issues. Not available. Basketball Court issues. Not available. - Lobby Issues They have no lobby - just some improvised space, but only now, after 2 months without any. - Building Entrance Issues Blocked due to another construction - Construction blocks visitor entrance and parking entrance with heavy equipment. Also, cars block entrance because they have to do a u-turn since the other entrance is blocked. - Garage Gate Issues. Get stuck, all the time. - No Cleaning of Construction facing side The scheduled cleaning of the balcony was performed by 3rd party and didn't clean at all. No one supervised the task. On top of all of these inconvenience above... - No Clubhouse - No Sauna - No Spa We feel so deceived and cheated in the worst way possible. We personally agree on the renovations being done in the building but we believe the way this is being executed is very unacceptable. The updates are being done at the residents expense. No planning just an entire building inoperable and severely inefficient for their benefit only. The truth is that you will be paying for all the amenities without having access to none. They all have very good understanding of what's going on with the building which it only makes it more shocking and alarming the way they don't care about the service and convenience of the residents. My wife and I personally met Tanner Sheehan, The Regional Property Manager II, he tried "to help us" by giving us 1 month free rent and 2 months free parking, 2 weeks after we agreed he just text me saying that agreement couldn't be done and that I have to let them know 60 days in advance if we were to move out. They JUST DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU!!!! Everything mentioned above is completely unacceptable, especially for the amount of money you would end up paying each month. Gabriela & Mauricio

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.

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!!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Absolutely terrible. Paid my application fee. Paid my $750 deposit. Got approved however decided to go with a different complex. I have been on the phone with the location and their corporate office trying to get my deposit back. I have an email from Yvette Ortiz stating it will take 1-2 business days to hit my account(This was from 10 days ago). NO ONE WILL CALL ME BACK. ALWAYS GET PLACED ON HOLD WITH NO ONE COMING BACK ON THE LINE. Very shady business. Nice complex, but would never do business with people like this. All I want is my deposit back!

Lived here since September 2017. Location is good and amenities/lobby is attractive, but the entire building is horribly infested with cockroaches (other neighbors have also talked to me about the same problem). I never leave any food out, throw out all garbage immediately, and everything I store in my pantry are in ziplock bags or their original unopened packaging because the roaches find their way into everything. I don't even leave food out during the day for my pets because I don't want the roaches to get at their food, so I feed them and clean their bowls after they eat (I don't want the roaches to have the chance to get any food and attract even more - it's disgusting). I just ended my lease and moved out, but I had to get rid of my couch and small rugs because there were just way too many roaches despite all the treatments and sprays I've used (I even used an insect powder in the apartment, but they still found ways to hide in the drains and move through the apartment units through the vents- I have wood floors, so I could only imagine how difficult it would have been if I had a carpeted unit). Bay Parc would send bug treatment services but it would only get rid of some but not all of the roaches, and after a few days they would be everywhere as soon as you turn off the lights or open any drawers or cabinets. I started keeping my dishes, cups and silverware in plastic storage tubs because I could not stand the roaches contaminating everything. It became embarrassing to have guests at night because roaches would run up the walls or across furniture. What was very disgusting was that sometimes roaches would fall down from the ceiling onto the floor at night - You can't even have a cup of water by your bed at night because one might be in your cup - you have to keep a bottle with a lid. I wish I was exaggerating but I feel that I need to let other future residents know so that they don't just settle for this place because of the location and amenities. Also, service people will come into the unit without appointment first, despite resident requests to be notified beforehand - it is common to come home and find a notice posted to the door stating that either the service person already entered or will enter the next day and there are no exceptions or chances to reschedule, so if you have pets you don't have the chance to remove them before service workers enter to spray chemicals. It is difficult to complain because other residents have the same issue and treatments aren't working because the insect infestation is too large to manage, so it was in my best interest to leave. It is too difficult to live working around a gross infestation so I hope that future residents are prepared to live in this situation since Bay Parc does not seem to have any plans to completely get rid of this issue.

I paid $100 application fee and $750 holding fee to apply to live here and was approved. The holding fee did not hold the unit for me. They changed my unit a month after I was approved and I did not want this new unit. They are refusing to return my holding fee because more than 72 hours had passed since my application was approved, and now I need to go to small claims court.

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.

This place is the unsafest apt complex you can find in Miami! Do NOT move here! They are always to going to rip you off. They stole my stuff from the storage! They charge $35 for storage and steal your stuff!! Then they clean their hands saying that they didn't see ANYTHING in the cameras! Two months ago a BMW got stolen form the parking lot and they said exactly the same thing! They don't care about the residents! They also charge crazy fees when you move out, they charged me $700 dollars from a really small stain in the carpet making me pay a total of $1,300 for my moving out... They do free retouch painting ONLY for the residents they want. The ATM never works, the soda machine that they have in the pool is always broken and take also your money and in the leasing office they don't care. The elevators are always broken and the engineering stuff are always high on drugs. When the convenience store was open I listened one conversation between two employees trying to buy drugs there. That without saying that the apt complex sting like marihuana all over and they don't care if you have kids. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE.

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.
