San Juan Apartments

I will start with «Do not «in any means shape or form, move in these apartments. I just moved out and it has once again turned into a apartment full of thugs and low lives, but there are Some nice people that do live there, but I am sure they will be moving soon, as I did.
In August 2015 I had my package stolen from the mail box area. Two weeks later, the one of the brothers who did it, shot the other brother in apt # 27 because he disk him about his game play on his x box. (in the West Seattle blog) The garage is always full of shopping carts from Safeway, trash etc and smells like urine because it is used by the homeless as a bathroom, as it is unsecured and they charge you $ 75.00 to park there, because they can, because there is only two hour parking on the street and they have you by the balls and the hallway carpets need to be replaced and most of the floors stink, especially the 2^nd floor.
They have had several car break ins (over and over) including mine, but I know who did mine. (another thug who lives in the building .
The owners refused to repair anything and the place smells and looks like a slum. Their are multiple safety violations in the building, including the fire doors on each floor are broken or propped open and black mold in the walls because the place leaks everywhere when it rains, and they refused to fix the leaks. People urinate in the stairwells and also leave trash there also.
Two guys on the 3^rd floor are always in front of the building drinking and smoking pot in the garage. And unlike other buildings who are raising their rents off the hook, at least their buildings are clean and are taken care of. The owners of the San Juan are slum lords, but Max the apartment manage is cool, but it’s not his fault as he is just a go between and has no control over what the owners do.
Well, I could go on and on, but all you have to do is look at the past reviews and see what I mean, as It has turned into a den of thugs and criminals once again .
I had enough after 4 years of living here and I think with the amount of money they want to charge for rent, you could live on the street and be better off .
Find a descent place to live … This ain’t it.

A terrible experience. When I signed my lease the management said the elevator would be fixed in time for me to move in. Not only was THAT untrue, but it wasn’t even fixed in time for me to move out again! This means that I not only had to move my belongings up four flights of stairs, but then I got to do it again on the way down. I was offered 100 $ total to compensate me for this inconvenience. The laundry room is creepy and the garage usually reeks of piss. The tenants have no respect for the property and have no problem leaving their trash lying around. The hallways reek of pot smoke and animal waste. It’s certainly not worth what I paid in rent, and much nicer places are available in West Seattle for less.
The two guys that manage this building seemed nice, but they had a terrible time communicating between each other. This meant that one of them promised me a break on my rent, but the other didn’t know about it when I signed my lease. They made a lot of verbal agreements, which ultimately were not kept and ended up being a total mess when I moved out. Poor communication led to a misunderstanding at the time I ended my lease, and one of the managers told me that he would take care of it. Six months later I was served with a collection notice! This was the first I heard that there was a problem, was against my verbal agreement with the management, and there had been no attempt to get in contact with me beforehand even though they had my phone number. Really underhanded, duplicitous, and untrustworthy.
