Divine Lorraine

I could go on and on about the myriad of issues we had in our year at the Divine Lorraine. Don't let the pretty exposed brick fool you. The second we moved in, our dishwasher leaked all over the kitchen, it took weeks to fix. We had a two week period where we had no air conditioning in sweltering heat with empty promises coming in that it would be fixed within the "next few days." Garbage shoots jammed up so the entire floor stunk for days and the 24 hour front desk security somehow allowed for two people to get in, one being able to take keys from the front desk and make it up to the 5th floor for a nap. Building management's response to this was "I look forward to your reviews." Instead of doing anything to rectify it. It may seem like a great location for a decent price, but it's not worth the headache of nothing ever working.

Living in a horror movie can't begin to explain my experience at Divine Lorraine. Management is dead awful. We've had 2 security breaches within the past couple weeks. More recently, an intruder made her way into the building, helped herself to the master key at the front desk, and entered someone's apartment. She spent hours inside the building and they couldn't find her. When they finally did, she was fast asleep in the tenant's unit. Of course, after packing all his belongings and putting them in garbage bags. What was the incident before that??? Glad you asked!!! Another intruder made their way inside the building, turned on the fire alarm on an upper floor, then proceeded to use an extinguisher on another floor to out the non-existent flames. While searching for the intruder, police pulled their guns on a tenant that answered her door. Clearly she has since moved out. After the second incident they had "security" in the building for about two/three days. In fact, that "security" was other staff members that they paired up to use as a front. Management refuses to allow anyone to break their lease. For a "luxury" building, the elevators are filthy (and sometimes smelly). The HVAC system in my apartment doesn't work. The maintenance manager claims it does, management backs him, and so with that, I have to deal with it. I could go on and on about the lights constantly going out and everything else that is wrong with this building, but I digress. If there's any advice I can give you ... STAY AWAY !!! People are constantly moving out. I don't think management cares one way or the other. There's always someone else ready to move in. I can't wait to get out of this hell hole.
