The Yorkshire Apartments

unpleasant and rude. Once I asked to borrow the dolly that is kept in the front office. I had to go into the office to ask for it because the front desk person, who is also incredibly rude, was in there talking with the other two staff members. They flat out lied to me. They said that it was not there and I had to track down the maintenance guy and get him to lend me his dolly. I could not believe it. On another occasion, I had a question about my rent. I continuously asked the management team in the office and they never got back to me. So, I got the name of their supervisor from a previous management team member with whom I maintain contact (she was here when I first rented the apartment and she is wonderful). When I contacted the supervisor, I got the same runaround from him that I received from his staff. Yes, there are bugs. I moved from a suburb and I just figured that it was part of city living. An exterminator visits the building every week and you can ask him to visit your apartment at that time, as many times as you want. Yes, it is noisy. I live on one of the higher floors and the noise is still pretty bad, but you get used to it. It is 16th St after all, so noise should be expected. I definitely would not recommend renting an apartment at the Yorkshire until the current management team is replaced. Lenkin (the owner) has been very slow to respond, so I would just recommend steering clear of this building. It's hard because its such a good deal (all utilities included) in a convenient location. However, I don't think that I should have to be afraid to walk into my apartment building in case I run into one of the management staff. I'm leaving as soon as I can.

rude, unhelpful, and unnecessarily aggressive. I actually fear worsening treatment for writing this review and speaking out against them. This is the same management company that controls The Park Hill Apartments - see those reviews to confirm these complaints. They are undergoing a major construction project for the majority of 2016, replacing the plumbing system. The current plumbing has horrible issues with water pressure, rust or algae in the water (making it a brownish-red), and atrocious smelling water that comes from the tap. Be warned, if you're a prospective renter and they don't tell you that upfront. Finally, the building advertises that all utilities are included in your rent. Please be aware that you are asked to pay an additional amount sometimes up to $150 per month towards electricity starting April through October with no explanation how they arrive at this amount. You are given notice in April with all amounts outlined and these utility charges are not based on consumption.

so it is basically like moving all over again. Their roach terminator also requires the entire kitchen & bathroom be empty before treating your apartment, so again, it is basically like moving all over again.
