IF YOU’RE GAY, THINK TWICE BEFORE MOVING INTO THIS BUILDING. The unit itself looks nice, but our experience in unit 607 was shocking. My husband and I rented it, and within two days we left because of constant hostility, construction noise, and a pile of smaller problems. The worst part was the toxic, homophobic attitude from staff. Management and security made the building feel unsafe and openly homophobic. Residents don’t get a regular fob; security manually controls every entrance and exit, so it feels like you’re constantly watched. Gay guests were often treated with suspicion or hostility, and guards could refuse visitors access at their own discretion. Once, we were told, “gays always cause problems.” More than once, we waited outside for 10 minutes or longer for a guard to return from patrol and let us in. Security also questioned us aggressively and refused entry, even in daytime. Paying high rent and still being made to feel unwelcome was humiliating. When we asked why straight residents had different rules, security called the police. After a private conversation between the guard and officers, we were briefly handcuffed with no legal grounds. It felt like a show of power. The apartment was in terrible shape too. The balcony was dirty and looked unused for ages, the bed linens were stained, and the towels were torn and dirty. When we complained, staff said, “It’s just makeup from previous guests, it’s safe.” Absolutely unacceptable. So many problems in only a couple of days. Save your money and stay away from this building.
