I moved out of a Helios-managed building ...
I moved out of a Helios-managed building on 13th Street a few months ago after residing there for seven years. Initially, it was a delightful place to call home, with the previous owners (who were also managing the building), ensuring daily cleaning and prompt service for any issues. However, when Helios took over, the living conditions deteriorated drastically. Under Helios's management, cleanliness became a major issue. The floors were not mopped for 4-5 months. Instead of proper cleaning and vacuuming, they used leaf blowers in the hallways!!!! Can you imagine!! Leafblower inside the hallways... The garbage room was left unattended for weeks, leading to a rat infestation, and the pervasive stench became unbearable.
To make matters worse, the laundry facilities were inoperable for weeks when I left. Despite numerous calls to the management, their response was consistently slow, and their corporate structure was used as an excuse for delays.
In retrospect, the lower rent offered by Helios does not justify the living conditions and the complete lack of responsiveness. In my experience, this company ranks as the worst I have ever encountered in property management.
