The Lee Apartments

Management has been making upgrades to the units, which is great… in theory. In reality, they are completely disorganized with their construction schedule, make a HUGE mess, and have no regards for the tenants that are currently living in the building.
Just a few of the issues I’ve experienced since moving in August 1:
— I was never informed that the upgrades being made to the building are actually in the units… aka they’re doing construction in my apartment while I live there.
— Management leaves a paper notice on your door when they plan to do work in your unit… but they may or may not actually come during that time frame.
— There is no organization to the construction. they install things «as they come in» so I’ve now had workers in my apartment on six different occasions (once to install new blinds, once to install a new stove, once to hang cabinets, and a SEPARATE time to paint the cabinets they hung, etc.) When the workers are there they never clean up after themselves, so I am constantly having to clean up dust, tools, garbage, etc.
— There is never anyone actually in the management office at Lee, so if you have any issues or questions you have to call and leave a message at the Blackstone. I’ve had three separate occasions where they just never call back.
— There is not enough parking in the lot for all tenants, and now they are changing half of the parking lot to spaces that you have to pay additional for to rent out. Even though parking is noted as included in our leases.
— The elevator door on the 5^th floor is broken and catches regularly. Instead of fixing the door, they just put a piece of paper on it asking residents to please make sure the door is closed.
— Last night, the fire alarm went off at 4:00 am in the building. When the fire department showed up, there was no key in the Fire Department box to turn off the alarm, and no one from management answered the emergency line. It took over 1.5 hours to get the alarm turned off.
Yes, the rent is low for the area and the units themselves are charming, but the constant headaches and overall worthlessness of the management company is not worth living here.

This apartment does not care about its residents. There is not enough parking for all of the residents, you are not allowed to sublease EVEN THOUGH your lease says you can, and the building needs many repairs. Bath tubs are peeling and old. My friend’s ceiling caved in right over her bed AFTER they said it was fixed! The elevator is always broken on the right side and the manager, TRACEY, refuses to speak to residents about their concerns, unless they go through her LAWYER first! Terrible management.
There are two good people at the company, the repairman and the janitor, everyone else is awful. Just go somewhere else!

The Lee apartment building is located directly behind Loews hotel and a 2 minute walk to Vanderbilt University. This place is pet friendly. Though, I have not lived here, I might be moving here in the near future! Please write some reviews!!!
