Barclay Square Apartments

Do not move in here. This used to be a great place to live. Unfortunately, after the owner passed away last year and his wife took his place, she hired a management property company to oversee the building and it has become a living hell since then. Where do I start. There is always constant construction going on in the building constantly waking you up at 8 am because for some reason the work can’t get done right. Say goodbye to your sleep-​in weekends. Constant piping repairs in the underground parking structure due to water always leaking onto cars as well water forming puddles all over the parking structure. Be prepared to constantly move your vehicle out of your spot so they can keep making these repairs with little to no progress. They work on those pipes almost every other weekend and it’s still the same. The neighbors — ugh. The quality of tenants that management has moving in is appalling. Playing loud music way after hours, smoking outside their door (even though this is supposed to be a «smoke-​free» building), and hanging out in the narrow hallways late at night talking loudly while you’re trying to sleep. «Inconsiderate» would probably be the best word to describe it. If you come look at the building notice the large amount of vacancies. That is because we just went through a 10 week roofing project where workers would come at 8 AM Mon-​Sat and bang on your walls and roof until 5pm. People finally got fed up of the lack of consideration from the owner /​property company and began moving out by the numbers. Just prior to that project there was a demolition project to demolish all the planters which was also just banging all day, workers yelling in Spanish down the walkways, and you jumping and dodging through hoops to get to your door. They demolished the planters and never replaced them and put a hideous white fence around the pool which gives you a nice little vibe of being in a jail when you’re in the pool. Also, all throughout the summer be sure to enjoy all 20 spanish workers gawking at you if you so choose to visit the pool as the repairs never stop here. The planters which had beautiful greenery and flowers really gave this building its appeal when you walked in. Now, the inside of the building looks barren and desolate with no appeal. The most disappointing part of all this is after going through all these repairs, you never see an improvement to the building. To top things off we have had multiple car break-​ins in the underground lot recently due to poor security precautions in the building. Locks don’t always work and doors don’t close all the way. Currently, there is a post it on one of the main doors advising to close it all the way because the spring is broken. Um, how about you fix it? Or is that also going to be a 10 week project? I apologize for the long rant, but i feel it’s only right for others to be fully aware of what they’re moving into. I have been saving up and I am now in the process of looking for a new place to get out of this hell hole. Do yourself a favor. Save your money and look elsewhere for a place you can call home and not a construction site.
