I've lived here for over 2 years now and have seen the apartment go through different management and rules. The walls and ceiling of the apartment are paper thin. Any noise made at conversation level can be heard by neighbors (up/downstairs and next door), so be prepared to hear anything/be heard, and to possibly have neighbors that are purposefully loud, harass, and disrespect you. Recently, policy changed allowing up to 2 dogs in an apartment. I personally have zero problem with and love dogs, but had many issues with the neighbors above me for noise AND harassment. I was forced to contact police one day due to an incredibly loud domestic dispute happening upstairs, dogs knocking furniture, howling, and all. After that issue, they began to effectively hate us. Even before this incident, the upstairs neighbors began ignoring our pleas for quiet during late hours weekdays, despite talking to them in person (respectfully). We tried to let them know when it was too loud with a light tap on the ceiling (due to being tired of trying to talk to them), which began to be answered with loud stomps or jumping. Another neighbor joined in with them and proceeded to threaten me and harass some guests I had over because our upstairs neighbors asked them too. They dumped water on our cats from their porch, and have purposefully made their dogs be loud (LATE into the night on WORK DAYS) after being begged to please keep it down. My fiance and I have to be up almost every day between 5 am-6 am, and are now being actively harassed. They now take our pleas as a challenge. The reason for these issues escalating to the degree which they have is due to completely unprofessional management. After expressing these problems to the manager/landlady, we were met with a variety of unhelpful, unprofessional suggestions. Even though we expressed we have already tried to talk to them like adults and they refuse, she proceeded, multiple times, to convince us to talk to them AGAIN anyway (giving us their name and number). I didn't want them to have my name and number, considering they actively harass me, my fiance, and our cats. She has become pretty good friends with them, and told us in an office meeting that nothing official can be done, EVEN with the active harassment, and proceeded to suggest that we just call the police if the noise continues past quiet hours (which DOESN'T work or effectively help the situation at all, the neighbors continuously lie to the landlady and police). So, if you want to live somewhere where you literally can't get any help from management for being ACTIVELY HARASSED, and given no possibility for solution in a completely unprofessional manner, go right ahead.
