Bayview Condominium Association

This place is a disaster right now! We’ve been dealing with water pressure, the lack of hot or cold water for 4 months since we’ve moved into this complex. Our landlord and all other units’ landlords plan to make a $ 400 – 600 increase in rent for the units. We moved here for the location and have to constantly deal with issues that are not resolved, while facing an inevitable rent increase. If you can avoid this place, I would. You dont want to move out shortly after moving in.

AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!
The building itself is very old and extremely outdated. The walls of the elevator is lined with carpet which absorbs various odors– and it always smells disgusting. The door to the trash shoot does not work property so the smell of rotting trash always lingers in the hallway.
The walls are very thin and you can hear everything– arguments, TV etc.
The management is very slow to fix any problems, instead they will place a bucket and an orange cone to indicate there is a leak in the middle of the hallway. Or they will place caution tape around a bench that is hazardous for people to sit on.
This place is so outdated that you can either have cable TV or cable Internet. NOT BOTH. Right now we have cable TV and we are using DSL for Internet, which is very slow.
Despite being slow to fix any problems they are quick to fine you. Especially if you have a pet. They do allow dogs in the building, but they will use that as a reason to fine you over and over again.
We first got an email stating that we need to «pay $ 500 for the dog or get rid of it» this is not a deposit like most condos and apartments– but just a $ 500 fee. After that, any time they see the dog whether we are taking it outside for a walk or anything like that, they fine us $ 100.
The worst part is that they have this guy named Tim living in the complex. I am not sure what his role is– but he is very creepy, gross and perverted. He likes to take pictures of women and uses it as «evidence» to fine you for various things.
We are looking for another place because of him– he creeps us out and does not make me feel safe at all! So women and children beware! Not only that, but he is rude, unhelpful and disrespectful to the tenants on so many levels.
Tenants here do a pay a monthly HOA cost– despite all the money the management is receiving from tenant to upkeep the place, there is no change or improvements and the property is not even properly MAINTAINED!
The ceilings are lined with asbestos– overall this place is not worth living here.
