The Mondrian Apartments

tour but after you sign the lease they disappear. Their is no regular pest control. They make no attempt to communicate with residents, decorate for holidays, or make any attempts at community events. Exterior doors to the building frequently don’t close and fully lock. The fire alarm system is inadequate and doesn’t even work. All the pull station handles have been removed. So renter beware what your getting into when you rent from here. There will be issues and lots of frustrations. Good luck!

never gave any concessions such as moving to a new unit (not facing the street or above first floor). The parking garage door has broken several times over the past year leaving my car trapped for an unknown period of time. The general attitude from management (top to bottom) and staff is apathy. Avoid this building at all costs...

never had any water/ AC/ Heat / or electricity problems in my building, and the managers are always quick to repair things. Almost all repairs are completed within 24 hours or less, (except for weekends.) Now lets talk about the roof, there is a small but very useful gym on the roof with treadmills, elliptical and a bike machine. There are also weight lifting machines which seem to be planned haphazardly. (Two machines for legs, and two machines for the same pull-up function, but no benches for the free weights.) If you're a heavy lifter you may find it lacking, but for moderate and novice people like myself it gets the job done. Through the gym is an outdoor rooftop area which is stunningly beautiful with great views and a great garden like atmosphere thanks to the super's family which tends to tons of flower boxes which are beautiful all summer long. However there are some issues, it closes hard at 11 pm. They claim alcohol is not allowed (no idea why) though I've never seen this enforced. And the roof is locked from late fall to early spring, while not a huge issue I don't know why they don't let us make our own decisions as to if we'd like to use it during this time or not. People in the building are friendly, and a mix of young professionals, students, and others. I've never had any real problems with people in the building or considerable noise except for a few rare occurrences. Pet policy in the building is decent. Small dogs, and cats are allowed. Non-refundable deposits are required PER pet. So if you want two cats, be prepared to say goodbye to $400 total. Want a medium sized dog? Also no luck. I'd be happy to stay in this apartment for a while.
