4th Street Commons Apartments

Love living here ! I have great roommates ! I feel safe so far so good

There are a few good things to say about living here, such as the amenities like the pool area, gym, and provided waste bags to pick up after your dog. The employees working here are usually professional, and try to help you as best as they can. The maintenance crew could use some work as they sometimes just walk into the apartment, look at the problem, do nothing about it and mark the task as complete even though nothing has been done. The worst part about living here are the other residents. They are absolutely nasty, with zero regards to keeping the environment of the apartments clean and orderly. The stairwells and garages always have bits of trash around. The elevators may have some food lying around, or even worse, dog waste. The trash rooms are usually packed with trash bags on the floor even though there are warnings to not leave trash on the floor but the residents do it anyway. There are no standards for them so they might as well be living in the gutter.

I laugh as I read the other negative reviews about this place, because I know those reviews are true. I laugh even MORE when I read management's responses to those negative reviews, because I know those responses are false. Management here does not even know how to follow the applicable laws surrounding their own profession, which, to put it bluntly, makes them grossly incompetent and unprofessional. I must have reiterated to them hundreds of times that I was being harassed by my roommates. Their response was to facilitate a
"meeting" with me and the offending roommate where the roommate didn't even show up but insulted me in their presence over the phone just for them to threaten me with eviction.
Haha, you want to make legal threats? Two can play that game sweetie ;) I called an attorney through my employer's Employee Assistance Program who let me know those legal threats were BASELESS, that as a tenant having signed a lease I had LEGAL RIGHTS in the State of Florida to a safe and habitable living environment. I let them know over email that from that point on I was documenting in a written log every incident of harassment and that I refused to meet with them in person ever again, that all communications had to be done in writing.
Even after I insisted all communications must be done in writing, they still had the audacity to acknowledge me at the front office and in the hallways and call me on the phone. When I emailed them asking them to stop, they LIED and claimed they never acknowledged me... When they are caught on THEIR OWN SECURITY CAMERAS having spoken to me.
Their complaint was that allegedly I left "messes" in the apartment. The "messes" they allege I left in the apartment belonged to the three other women who lived in the apartment. I even provided evidence of this along with evidence that the offending roommate was being dishonest. Their response was to cancel my renewal, since I let them know I am aware of my legal rights and they were not about to get away with filing an eviction.
Thank you for cancelling my renewal :* That was so sweet and considerate of you. I terminated my lease early with an outstanding balance for May rent. Since these people are not legally savvy, the balance and the foolish fees for early termination are sitting around unpaid. I now live in a beautiful, clean, and safe place on the other side of the country. Management can wipe their behinds with that unpaid bill for all I care.
Management's incompetence is truly laughable, and worse of all, is that it is FULLY endorsed by their corporate office! When I complained to the corporate office, the regional manager Ben Martin made some absurd offer for me to terminate my lease without any early termination fees. I knew from the start that offer was useless to me, and I was absolutely, unequivocally correct judging by how they have not extracted a dime from me since I decided to stop funding their backwards operation.
You would have made more money off of me by conducting yourself like a competent and respectable landlord.
I have had many landlords over the past 10 years that I have been renting in 3 different states. Never has ANY landlord I have EVER had done such a poor job.

Terrible office management! They Will Never Pick Up the Phone Nor will they help you with anything regarding your apartment! Very racist staffing as well! Caught Saying "N" word multiple time to describe me to co-workers! Stay Far AWAY!

The worst communication! The office never answers the phone and property managers are incredibly hard to reach.

This is going on day 3 of trying to dry out my flooring from the flood due to what you call "water intrusion" on Wed  of this week. I'm unable to sleep with the constant noise of the fans and horrid mildew/mold smell of the floor. Besides the smell, the baseboards of 3 walls of my room are still wet and warped from the water and my window casing is separating from the wall. This is a big problem! I have asked several times what "THE PLAN" is and no one seems to be able to give me an answer, including the maintenance crew supposedly doing the job. WHO DO I NEED TO SPEAK WITH TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE!!!??? THESE ARE UNINHABITABLE LIVING CONDITIONS! WHAT IS GOING TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS!? I am with-holding rent next month if nothing has been accomplished and reporting unhealthy living and building  conditions to the building code compliance to issue a citation. This is unacceptable! ** Don't sign a lease with these people if you value your health and well being.  Building management doesn't care about you because their offices are halfway around the world in Singapore **

IF YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO MOVE TO 4TH ST COMMONS, MISS IT!!! DON'T MOVE HERE AND THANK ME LATER. If I could give it zero stars I would!!! This building does not deserve more, it all started the day I moved, when I arrived no one greeted me at the reception, no one gave me keys, as I knew which room was my room I asked the security and he looked for my key and gave it to me , but I entered completely alone, no one gave me the apartment, the people at the front desk do not help you at all, communicating with the building managers is impossible, calling even more difficult, because they never answer, they have an application to upload maintenance requests and they cancel them themselves obviously without fixing the problem, my room flooded!!! And they moved me to another one where it also floods and the stove doesn't work, and to cancel the contract you have to pay 90% of the rent, cars and belongings are stolen in the parking lots, the elevators expired 6 months ago and were damaged at least once. once a week and to top it off the building remains dirty, it smells bad all the time, there is no quality of life or tranquility in this building. Do yourself a favor and don't move here.
If you have the opportunity to move to 4th St Commons, avoid it at all costs!!! Do not move here, and later, you will thank me. If I could give it zero stars, I would!!! This building does not deserve more. Everything started the day I moved in; when I arrived, no one greeted me at the reception, and no one handed me keys. Since I knew which room was mine, I asked the security guard, and he searched for my key and gave it to me. However, I entered completely alone; no one handed me the apartment. The front desk staff is unhelpful, and communicating with the building managers is impossible. Calling is even more difficult because they never answer. They have an application for submitting maintenance requests, but they cancel them without fixing the problem. My room flooded!!! And they moved me to another one where it also floods, and the stove doesn't work. To cancel the lease, you have to pay 90% of the rent. Cars and belongings get stolen in the parking lots. The elevators expired six months ago and break down at least once a week. To top it off, the building is dirty, and it smells bad all the time. There is no quality of life or tranquility in this building. Do yourself in favor and do not move here.

The PE firm that owns this place doesn't really care about the building. The elevator certifications for this building have expired since July 2022 and haven't been renewed which I find negligent as they obviously haven't passed inspection but not to the point of disallowing it to operate. How about spending a little bit to make it compliant? The general maintenance of the common grounds and the building itself is subpar. There is a lot of new supply in student housing nearby with better amenities that has been newly built, for not so much in additional monthly dues for the lease. Refrain from coming to this property and instead lease in one of the other nearby options. Water leaks into the last floor when there is a strong rain. This has happened several times. The pool area finally got done after 3 years of delays, yet its not an environment where people would really enjoy.
A survey has been recently sent as to why people have not renewed, as to voice their opinions about the matter. Well, people vote with their feet.

Please don’t move here🙏🏾😓I beg you. This place is absolutely disgusting. My apartment floods almost every time it rains and they’ve not done anything to stop it. Now my room smells constantly because of the wet carpet.. also the whole building always smells because of how the trash cans are always overflowing and the entire inside of the building is just disgusting. Management sucks and this place should be shut down, management takes 3 months before even responding to anything, and when they do respond it’s nothing helpful.please please don’t move here .
