Before we start, DO NOT MOVE HERE, it is a waste of money, at first we thought it was a good option, but as time went by we saw that it was not what we expected, cockroaches everywhere, smell of marijuana throughout the building, corridors, elevators, lobby, to fix something in the apartment you have to wait too long after you make the request, there are 5 elevators and you have to wait 15, 20 minutes to go up and down, they are never all enabled, and most importantly , the attention of the office staff is terrible, you can never talk to them to report a problem, days can go by and they are not interested in anything. In short, don't waste your money, we didn't even have a year in the property and we decided to leave, it's terrible.
All they care about is to steal residents money Rented their for a year , building was under total construction, didn't deliver their commitments upon finishing their construction on the right time. After a month of renewing our lease We got called to change our jobs to Orlando Talked to the leaseing officeres and they provided us with wrong information about how much to break the lease. Sent emails to their community managers But of course they didn't care about us or that we have been a good tenant ,never paid late or created any problems .they only care about stealing your money. We have been paying for an empty apartment for the last three month And we get charged every day I will be taking my legal action against this place .

Do not live here! Incredibly distributing pest problem. Roach infested building. Staff doesn't care about tenants and the ongoing issues they are experiencing.Elevators are broken almost weekly leaving one in use and a 30 minute wait time to use, this causes overcrowding. (Example 12 people in a single elevator at one time during a ongoing pandemic) When you bring these issues up to camila the manager of this building she is terribly rude, unprofessional. condescending, accusatory, & lacks empathy. And did I mention ROACHES! Again do not waist your time with Bay Parc Apartments.
The location of this apartment is amazing, and I'll greatly miss my view of the Biscayne Bay. The place is generally clean and safe as well. Repairs are generally taken care of quickly. Unfortunately, we had to make 12 maintenance requests over our 7 months stay for the recurring issue of our air conditioner not working and the ancient, busted up washer and dryer not working. They were completed promptly though, even though they had to keep coming back every couple of weeks to a month. The package situation and the security people at the front desk are awful. Waiting for the elevators in a relatively newish building is also pretty annoying. The management here is absolutely, 100 percent terrible. Problems with them started with the $100 in monthly fees tacked on to the bill that we were not told about up front. Then came the nightmare move in, where we had no idea where to pull up the moving truck, and the roughly 8 maintenance trucks that were in the way of the moving dock, and the hour delay to get the moving elevator available and the door open. Then a week later there was a bomb scare in the lobby, stuff happens, but we weren't made aware of what was going on until a week later. After that was neighbor noise with loud music until 3am. I couldn't get it resolved with the neighbor, or the management, so I resorted to calling the police (they have better things to do in Miami). That still didn't fix that problem though. I also had a billing issue that cost an additional $100 extra month for the final two months that was never resolved (keep in mind, now I'm paying $200 more than expected per month). I ultimately spoke with the corporate people directly, but some things I guess are better just paying and calling a loss so I don't have to deal with a debt collector down the road. Unfortunately, I had to extend a month and two days, which cost an additional $440. I am dreading the move out situation and have pretty much no expectation of getting the deposit back, given that an otherwise standard fresh coat of paint will cost us roughly $200. I really don't recommend living here.
Run! Don't walk. This place is a mess. Management will get you to sign a lease then unit will not even be available, this happened to us multiple times. Their answer each time? They'll try to find you another, more expensive, unit that MIGHT be available. We initially tried to get a unit for under 2K - lease in hand. By the time we were done they wanted to place us in another property at over 4K!!! Oh yeah and good luck trying to reach them and get an answer, that's a whole other process. They completely fail in customer service, response, and most importantly honesty. Why aggressively push rentals if you don't have any?!? Management and leasing agents are polite but seem poorly trained. Word to the wise, don't set yourself up for disappointment.
This place is horrible. Cars being stolen every night. The property manager Camilla is very rude and hides from residents when she needs help. There is also an employee named Aaron from Nfc Amenity. He always smelled like alcohol when you approach him and he would ask personal questions that is uncomfortable. I think they got rid of him which is a + for the building but still the other issues such as theft. A property manager who is a narcissist and very rude, and a vendor company that hires anyone and doesn't pay them on time ( nfc ). This place needs to change
Lived in this roach hotel for 4 years, wasn't as bad when I first got there, but progressively got worse. When I first moved in, there was black mold in the vents, the building ignored and deflected 5 attempts to bring this up. Even with multiple attempts with pest control, there were always roaches. They used to have a front desk like all other towers in Miami, but decided to remove it. Elevators worked 50% of the time with the exception of maybe 1-2. I've been moved out now for 2 weeks and still trying to get my security deposit back. My neighbor had his car stolen from the garage and he was one of 7 that I had heard about. DO NOT live here unless you can get them to come off the rent price by a lot. Whoever reads this review from Bay Parc, please contact me with how to get my security deposit back.
i left this apartment 2 months ago and havent got my refund they owe me for my deposit! called their accounting department and they keep telling me someone will get in touch with me.. if you miss a day of payment they charge your account so i dont understand why i havent gotten my money back yet. after all they took half my deposit for unnecessary move out fees
I don't recommend this place to live.
HORRIBLE - RUN AWAY NOW! You come to this place and think "oh this is nice for the price" then you move in and reality hits. The walls are paper thin, the hallways are hot and stink, and there is constant hammering and drilling everyday. This is in addition to the hidden fees you are going to run into. All the hidden fees add up to be at least $100. Yes, they charge a cooling/air conditioner fee. So no matter what they tell you the price at the leasing office, it is a lie. Don't even consider trying to have a pet or a parking space. They will nickel and dime you for every single thing they can. They expect a 60 day move out notice in writing and will charge you well over $2300 per month regardless if you live there or not. The hot tubs are never hot and alarms in the building are constantly going off, shutting down the elevators. I have heard people banging and screaming inside the elevators from being trapped 5 times since living here. The Opera tower, which is directly beside Bay Parc Plaza also has constant alarms going off that you will hear while sitting on your couch or usually laying in bed trying to sleep. The leasing reps will not help you or work with you at all about the constant noise or any issues you may have. The leasing office told me there was no legal limit on how much they can charge for their apartments so they can charge us whatever they want. They will send you to corporate office, which never answers their phone. No one stays here for long and you will see why. Be prepared to be completely robbed of every penny they can get from you. It is only a matter of time before this place has a class-action lawsuit against them for the hidden fees and horrible treatment of their residents.
shady shady shady management practices. upon moving out of bayparc august 1 they bumped my move out date to aug 22 so they could charge me additional rent and short term rental renewal. even though i had already moved into my new apartment in another building. then they charged me double for monthly electric, pest control, water trash and sewer. plus i complained about mold due to constant respitory issues ... they laughed at me! do not move in here they are a substandard rental community that charges premium rates.
Disorganized and dishonest. Had an appointment booked days in advance where I clearly expressed my needs. Got to the appointment and was told it was a no go after sitting and waiting and hearing talks about pest control coming in on Thursdays.
The only good things about this place are the location and lobby. I was kicked out of my first apartment because of renovations had to be done on the 10th floor, which I was given no prior indication of such a thing happening. Of course, this was technically in my contract, and I was lucky the building had another open apartment I could transfer to but if they didn't, I would have been out of luck and in a VERY bad situation. The place is FILLED with roaches. I called pest control multiple times. They flushed, set traps, and I cleaned my apartment thoroughly but there was a ridiculous amount of pests all over. The traps would pick up so many roaches there was a layer of them. And they would still be all over the kitchen and bathroom. I believe the air conditioning is linked to the water. So over the summer, when there are water piping issues that clearly management takes their time to fix, AC doesn't work. The amenities are old and faulty. My washing machine once broke down and it and the wall started leaking everywhere and for no reason other than it was old. The service request crew is timely and fast, but the only fix for this flooding was a big fan blowing for literally days and hoping it dried. If you still decide to stay here, they will nickel and dime you for everything. Make sure you mark EVERY single scuff or scratch you see in your place when you move in. Even the smallest little scratch the apartment has, they will charge you absurd painting charges upon move out. Make sure before you sign off on anything, you get all your keys, etc. I was told I would be getting 2 sets of keys, only got one, and never got the second even after asking for them repeatedly. Yet I still got charged for "missing keys" after move out. Keep track of every single thing!!
I've lived here for a year and a half. Things have steadily declined over that time. This is supposedly a smoke-free building, but that's a joke. Sometimes the hallway is rank with the smell of weed, and don't try to sit on your balcony. This shouldn't be surprising, though: This place is filled with dealers doing business in the lobby, the driveway, and the park across the street. I've never lived anywhere that had more evictions for non-payment. People leave refuse outside the garbage chutes, leading to the roach problems mentioned in other reviews. The elevators rarely all work at the same time. The garage is a raceway. I've almost been hit several times, both in my car and on foot. And, there's no noise control. Management has cut back on quality housekeeping of public areas as well as the advertised 24-hour security. Other than being dog friendly, there's really little positive about this property. Management promises changes but never delivers. As soon as our lease is up, we're out of here. Do yourself a favor and stay away!
DO NOT LIVE IN THIS BUILDING. THEY HIRE THIEVES AND SCUM OFF THE STREETS OF MIAMI. THEY ALLOW PEOPLE TO BREAK INTO YOUR STORAGE UNITS AND STEAL CARS RIGHT OUT FROM YOUR PAID GARAGE, AND THEN WILL REFUSE TO HELP YOU WHEN IT HAPPENS. SCAMMERS AND USELESS MANAGEMENT. DO NOT LIVE HERE!!!! IF I COULD GIVE ZERO STARS I WOULD. CRIMINALS
DO NOT MOVE INTO THIS BUILDING. WORST BUILDING IN DOWNTOWN EDGEWATER BRICKELL AREA, TERRIBLE STAFF, TERRIBLE ELEVATORS, TERRIBLE RESIDENTS, PETS EVERYWHERE, STAY AWAYYYYYY
I lived there for a year and a half and i have mixed emotions from this place : CONS: (a big one) ROACHES (is a 12 year old building a bit old for the area, still regularly i call the pest control and i did the " whole process"and They couldn't get rid of the roaches. Set traps. Fumigation blah blah.. NO EXCUSE Rent/Price: for the same money you can live on a newer place nearby lots of competition around. Regional manager : Not Good. Not polite Property manager: No comments.... Art galeria : waist of space . From bad to worse is not even ART. Structure: There's a new building on the north side (AREA on the bay) so from the 7th floor to the 16th your VIEW will be a WALL. PROS: LOCATION: everything Is close. I love the area Good maintenance team. the website is easy to request for maintenance issue and pay the rent. Good selling team: Anthony and Charlie, Michelle are amazing. Very helpful knowledgeable and down to earth guys. Good cleaning team. Structure: New pool and deck. Amazing view of Margaret pace park. Elevators were an issue but they corrected that New gim And Pool table . Is a smoke free place they say (but my neighbors always smoking weed and people smoking on the parking ) Property manager: NOT GOOD Security team: very good people from the morning to the girl from overnight. But managment they are not fair with them. they fire them, come and go. Like baby diapers I saw good security people let go. Aimco: i had a problem they didn't solve it. Late fee that did not apply. CONCLUSION: If you are OK with ROACHES and you want to live in a overpriced building is your kind of place.
the worst place to live as long as .. from the facility until administrators
I currently live in unit 24F and for months my apartment has been infested in roaches. The funny thing is that I can see roaches coming out of the AC ventilation fan, which shows that there is clearly a roach problem in all the building. I had the terminex team come in and do a deep floos and still that has not solved the issue. In addition, my unit has been fumigated various times. Whenever I bring the issue to the community manager named Patrick Mcgary, he just says to submit again a service request. Today they were supposed to come in and they did not. My sister who was there waiting for them said they did not show up. This building management team from Mcgary to the Aimco property manager for Florida called Tanner Sheehan are very good at providing mediocre customer service. I regret renewing my lease with this building. Although I must say the leasing staff from Anthony Wiseman to the cleaning crew are the only positive aspect about this building. If you are looking to rent avoid this place at all cost as all this company wants is to take your money and charge you extra fees under the table. They probably want to make up for the court fees they had to pay Airbnb after they tried to sue them in California. Avoid renting at this place at all cost!
If I could give no stars I would. Joe is a really nice guy but my experience living here has been terrible. The communication is a huge issue. If I was told accurate information and if construction occurred when it was supposed to I would have had a much better experience. Instead I overpaid in rent for amenities I won't even get to enjoy. Go elsewhere. The last thing you'd want to do is go to work everyday and dread coming home like I did...
That building simply sucks. And the most upsetting thing with the google reviews is the responses that they give. They do literally nothing to help you. And they are far from being or act like a real community. The manager, Alexis is a joke. She is always sorry for you having a problem but she never has a solution or she is willing to negotiate. Is that why they call you a manager? Apart from the construction I had to face many other problems. My apartment flooded almost a year ago and they blamed my neighbor. I had to stay out of the house for a week (even though they had to keep the machines at least 10 days to dry) Since then I am facing molt problems and that apparently affects my health. They reduced my rent for that month to compensate the days I was out and then they charged me a 200 dollars late fee after I emailed Alexis to fix my statement. I sent her the email on time she replied after two days providing wrong days. But they charge you for their mistakes. Another time a drunk guy run into my apartment and the security did nothing. I had to call the police. (Believe me I have pictures) I pay around 2000 per month and my appliances are dated to WarWorld 1. So bad and they don't function. If I want to change them they have to increase the rent. That's ridiculous. Last but not least, I got stuck in the elevator twice calling 911 because the emergency button is not working. Twice in 6 months. While other times I had to wait for an elevator for 45 minutes. Today, Alexis was sorry again. I am sorry for her and her position. You should care more people!
Bugs IN The Walls, Crime, Unfriendly Staff, Old Building, Floods, HIDDEN FEES... I could go on. The worst building I have ever lived in. For what you will pay at Bay Parc you can live at newer buildings close to Margaret Pace. Camila (the Property Manager) is rude and that works its way across the entire building. A few of the other team members are kind, but there is only so much they can do. Don't do it! Do your research and see how this building does not take care of problems they have had for years.
Terrible staff in all levels. They look nice when you come in and when they have your money nobody seems to care. Our bike was stolen and the manager said "that always happens, call your insurance". The pool area is always windy, and my daughter got cut in the pool with a glass. The garage door for residents is broken so it is open to anybody. Anyone can come in the building and do whatever they want. Totally unhappy and waiting for our lease to end to get out of here.
I applied for a condo here and got denied, leasing office took my 100 dollar deposit and charged me $750 dollars to hold my apartment until the results if of my application process, unfortunately I was denied. I have been trying to get my $750 dollars back from them and it has been a complete nightmare. the leasing office employees where assisting me through the process (Fredny) does not even have the courtesy to reply to any of my messages. If this is the way they conduct business then i can just imagine if you needed them or anyone from the association to conduct themselves in high standard. What a mistake to have applied here, it seems to me that they are just interested in making a commission and are not there to really help you. Extremely Unprofessional.. I hope once someone's reads this from corporate they do the right thing and return my money..
This apartment building management is horrible. I'm horrified by my experience and it hasn't even been 2 months since I moved in. My neighbors plays extremely loud music every weekend and on weekday evenings as well, I have tried to speak to management over 10 times about this. They have done nothing to fix or resolve this situation. I havnt slept properly in 2 months because of this, it's ridiculous for 2000$ a month. I'm so fed up, getting lawyers involved. Terrible building - if you value sleep or common courtesy , move somewhere else.
DON'T DARE MOVE INTO THESE APARTMENTS. IN LESS THAN TWO MONTHS I WAS ROBBED 3 TIMES. THEY OPENED MY CAR TWICE AND THEY JUST STOLEN MY MOTORCYCLE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THERE IS NO SECURITY. THE SAME POLICE TOLD US THAT THEY HAD ARRESTED 20 PEOPLE WHO LIVED THERE. THE WORST PLACE IN MIAMI TO LIVE.
There is really only 1 word to describe these guys: Crooks. The front office lied to me before I signed a lease that the construction next to the building would not reach my balcony. After i signed a lease the construction went up passed my balcony and i was stuck staring at a wall for 1 year. (seen in photo). The office gave me NO warning this would happen and specifically told me it wouldn't. They lied to make money on the unit. I thought to myself, maybe they didn't know this was going to happen, but surely they'll work with me to find a new unit, bc they screwed up when they told me about the construction. But no. They refused to work with me. They won't reduce my rent, move me to a new place or even let me break my lease without maximum penalty. I've called lawyers and we are working on a class action law suit to sue them. If you're excited about the area like I would look into Melody Tower which is a brand new building a couple streets away. The area is great but this building IS NOT your answer. (In Response to below) I spoke to Jose initially. He's the one that told me there's nothing they can do. Even though, there is an empty unit 3 stories up that I can move into. Crooks.
Do not ever live here. I lived here for 2 years--- the pool was filthy and filled with cigarette butts, the staff was sketchy, the managers claimed some bogus rug damage -- kept my security deposit which I found out they used later to put in wood floors. The never attended to simple requests-- I lived there for 2 months without washer and dryer because management dragged their heels on fixing it. Disgusting place with equally disgusting and dishonest staff.
Rent is too high considering the next door construction wont let you sleep past 7:30 and is goig to cover most of the view
Worst place to live in Miami... Please stay away, horrible management. A lot of noise, this is an old building with a lot of defects inside. Be careful with you car bicycles and bikes, a lot of them have been stolen from the parking garage. Hidden charges after you sign he lease that are never discussed at signing. STAY AWAY FOR YOUR SAFETY...!!!!!!! With the amount of money you spend here a month you could live in a beautiful place here in this same area for less. Please check other reviews and you will see I am telling the very truth.
Lived here since September 2017. Location is good and amenities/lobby is attractive, but the entire building is horribly infested with cockroaches (other neighbors have also talked to me about the same problem). I never leave any food out, throw out all garbage immediately, and everything I store in my pantry are in ziplock bags or their original unopened packaging because the roaches find their way into everything. I don't even leave food out during the day for my pets because I don't want the roaches to get at their food, so I feed them and clean their bowls after they eat (I don't want the roaches to have the chance to get any food and attract even more - it's disgusting). I just ended my lease and moved out, but I had to get rid of my couch and small rugs because there were just way too many roaches despite all the treatments and sprays I've used (I even used an insect powder in the apartment, but they still found ways to hide in the drains and move through the apartment units through the vents- I have wood floors, so I could only imagine how difficult it would have been if I had a carpeted unit). Bay Parc would send bug treatment services but it would only get rid of some but not all of the roaches, and after a few days they would be everywhere as soon as you turn off the lights or open any drawers or cabinets. I started keeping my dishes, cups and silverware in plastic storage tubs because I could not stand the roaches contaminating everything. It became embarrassing to have guests at night because roaches would run up the walls or across furniture. What was very disgusting was that sometimes roaches would fall down from the ceiling onto the floor at night - You can't even have a cup of water by your bed at night because one might be in your cup - you have to keep a bottle with a lid. I wish I was exaggerating but I feel that I need to let other future residents know so that they don't just settle for this place because of the location and amenities. Also, service people will come into the unit without appointment first, despite resident requests to be notified beforehand - it is common to come home and find a notice posted to the door stating that either the service person already entered or will enter the next day and there are no exceptions or chances to reschedule, so if you have pets you don't have the chance to remove them before service workers enter to spray chemicals. It is difficult to complain because other residents have the same issue and treatments aren't working because the insect infestation is too large to manage, so it was in my best interest to leave. It is too difficult to live working around a gross infestation so I hope that future residents are prepared to live in this situation since Bay Parc does not seem to have any plans to completely get rid of this issue.
I've had five wonderful years here until now. For the last five months, the property manager, Carlos Garibello has failed to address my neighbor's excessive dog barking (all day long, for long periods at a time, early mornings, etc.). We've had over 30 email exchanges (primarily me reporting the incident and him not responding). I've shared dozens of videos capturing the noise, and each time I called Concierge. I escalated it to HQ, and no one has made an effort to fix this.
I got my motorcycle stolen from the property garage. The gates were open all night because they do not function in windy situations. The resolution of the cameras is terrible and we could not read the license plate of the van that stole my motorcycle. They most likely took the time to use a really loud grinder to break the huge security chain I had. The security guard on duty that night was not informed by management that the gates were open that night. There have been several vehicle break-ins and stolen motorcycles in the past year and nothing has been done to improve the situation. Elevators often break resulting in long waiting periods.
DO NOT MOVE HERE!!! It is a dangerous community. There have been several break-ins both in the garage and in the apartments. Building has no security, no cameras, and the team will do nothing to assist you in the case of an emergency. The community regularly lies about the events that occur when telling the residents do diminish how bad things actually are.
This a very awful apartment. It has been my home for the past 3 years, and I can say that on the security side it sucks. Sadly, I pay for a storage unit that the charge on an extra cost, but you on the same side sign something that they give up all the responsibility and they say that its all on you. The storage room was completely robbed. this is very curious, because there is only one key to get access nor they have a record nor they care to check who goes in or out and what they take. never to mention they lack of cameras for checking the status of the storage units. This is very unfair, since they charge and control everything on the building (AIMCO own the whole building) yet they are just in for the money that you generate but don try to make your lifestyle more comfortable, yet they only care that the building is fully rented and everything else doesn't matter for them. But I can say how good they are for you to be on time to pay. If you don't pay the firsts days of the month, they will overcharge you with $200 USD, and same, they don't improve on security, even if they are getting money on their pockets. One month after I reported the robbery, and they stating were going to improve the securities conditions (as the only way they wanted to become responsible for the situation - not recognizing any of my loses, which includes luggage, expensive watches, sport instruments, and more) I got myself into the building, and the gates (which should be closed) open all the way at 11 PM. Not to mention that there was no security person in the gates to check that nothing got in or out without be certain that they should. Long story short, the storage rooms are accessible from the garage, which makes my kind of situation easy for any people that wants to take something (again) from the units. What was my surprise? management said exactly the same after my robbery - we are working on the issue, it will not happen again - yet they still don't do anything. So bottom line its try to not rent here, they will not make sure your lifestyle becomes better, and they only will care of when you payment is due. Nevertheless, the girls that talk to you are very nice, but are not the manager, and the manager simply goes for the pockets of the company, that is revenue revenue - and don't give back much.
Do not rent here! This building is infested with roaches! I have spoken to the community manager, Patrick about this and he did not even care or apologize. Very poor treatment to be the community manager. The assistant manager did try to help and find a solution to the issue but honestly no amount of "flushing" will get rid of the roaches. Every time pest control comes you have to take out your ENTIRE kitchen including pots pans and clean all the drawers out as if it was easy to do. Takes around 3 hours to do. Spent all day yesterday doing that for pest control to show up today 4 hours after they were suppose to and them not be able to spray since I was not home and my dog was not tied (never told me to). There are roaches all over my apartment can't even eat in the apartment or store food of the amount of roaches there is. This building should focus its efforts on dealing with this issue rather than investing into its pool and gym which don't get me wrong are great. I have spoken with other tenants and they all seem to have the same issue. The pest control does not help control the situation honestly its so bad you can even see in the picture below there is one INSIDE the kitchen stove. Aimco needs to take this situation into their hands ASAP. This building will not hear the end of this issue from our behalf until they allow me to break the lease or FIX the issue beyond just fumigating it every week cause clearly that is not the solution. Extremely disappointed to find that this "luxury building" or so they claim is infested with roaches.
Terrible. Dont move here.
In my 5 year anniversary of my first piss covered lanai. I want to warn every renter of this place. It's gross - go somewhere else and spend a lot of money.
Don't let the photos fool you. It's all a facade. It has 1.5 stars for a reason, don't do it to yourself. If you are looking for a quiet comfortable place to live in Edgewater, choose a different property.This place is run by a scammer, Patrick McGarry, and his incompetent team of thieves.Here's a -short- list of my experience in 2 years here:- The building has a massive roach problem. Look at all the other recent reviews here. They will not do anything about it except hope you don't notice prior to signing the lease. Once you sign, congrats! You are now locked into a lease with a family of roaches.- The entire front of the building has a strong odor of dog poop... because of all the dog poop. Good luck enjoying your meal at Pura Vida while you inhale the stench of piss and poop.- There is constant smell of backed up garbage in the hallways from the trash chutes.- You can hear neighbors talking and hear their dogs pacing back and forth all night (probably fighting off the roaches) with the thin walls.- Your tub paint will continually peel and you have to leave your apt for 24hrs for them to fix- Your balcony, if you are unlucky enough to face Aria, will be forever filthy and unusable, coated with a film of dust/dirt from the loud fans located on the ground level. They promised to clean them 4 times during my 2 years there, and never once did the cleaning occur.- There is mold and mildew in the units growing in the closets. They will not do anything about it and it poses a health risk.- They have plumbing issues and when a pipe bursts and floods your apartment, they will use an industrial area fan to blow into your unit from the hallway for days on end, growing more mildew.- Staff constantly comes into your unit unannounced with no explanation and don't even have the decency to turn the lights off before they leave.- They charge residents for electric/water for the building at rates that increase each month, in addition to your own FPL and water. These fees will cost more than your own monthly bills. I lived in a 1BR apartment and paid $30 in FPL, but $50+ in "community electric" fees each month. Same with water. And community tax. And "convenience fees." And parking tax. Expect $200+ unexplained additional fees each month. Patrick will promise "it's another company that charges that -- I will look into it" and will not follow up and will give you the runaround. You will either pay now or pay later with a late fee attached because he will not respond. Contact me via PM and I can show you the invoices.- You will pay move-out fees of $500+ which is not outlined in the lease and will be taken from your deposit. Again, look at other reviews. Read it for yourself.- Patrick will avoid you if he sees you in person because he is an inept manager that is incapable of resolving issues. His mantra is "out of sight, out of mind."- The lobby is renovated, but the remainder of the building is not. There is disgusting stained carpet on all tenant floors except the pool level (10th floor). Don't take my word, take a tour and see it yourself.- Once you realize you made a mistake moving in, you will be charged 4 months rent if you attempt to move out early, plus all community fees for months you didn't even live there. Read other reviews for evidence of this.- You will wait 10-15 mins for the elevators daily because they are constantly out of service and functioning improperly.- There is always pee in the elevators. Likely from the homeless and dogs.- That said, there are homeless people that sleep around the front door.- The gym is nice!- The "automated" parking system works maybe 2 days out of the week. On the remaining days, expect to be late for work while you wait 15 mins for the cars in front of you to incessantly push the button and wait for a concierge that is never at the desk for assistance.- The visitor parking fees are astronomical. After 2 hours you will be charged $25. And $50 for a lost ticket.- After 2 years of living here, there is still constant construction ongoing and unkept promises of amenities.- Concierge is always rude, unhelpful and clueless and Patrick has been caught instructing them to call the police on tenants. They did mention they don't blame me for moving out when I was leaving though. That was comforting.- They will mistakenly tow your car without notice even if you are a paying resident.- When you move out, they will provide you with a list of fees you will be charged (only if you ask) after having been informed you won't be getting your deposit back.- You pay "community fees" from +3 months in arrears that you never agreed to.- They will not provide you with a move-out inspection.Pay close attention to the damage control from the "community manager" here on every negative review and that will tell you everything you need to know. They send constant e-mails to residents to fill out positive reviews for them because they can't afford to lose their money trap.
Do not rent here! This building is infested with roaches! I have spoken to the community manager, Patrick about this and he did not even care or apologize. Very poor treatment to be the community manager. His assistant did try to help and find a solution to the issue but honestly no amount of "flushing" will get rid of the roaches. Every time pest control comes you have to take out your ENTIRE kitchen including pots pans and clean all the drawers out as if it was easy to do. Takes around 3 hours to do. Spent all day yesterday doing that for pest control to show up today 4 hours after they were suppose to and them not be able to spray since I was not home and my dog was not tied (never told me to). There are roaches all over my apartment can't even eat in the apartment or store food of the amount of roaches there is. This building should focus its efforts on dealing with this issue rather than investing into its pool and gym which don't get me wrong are great. I have spoken with other tenants and they all seem to have the same issue. The pest control does not help control the situation honestly its so bad you can even see in the picture below there is one INSIDE the kitchen stove. Aimco needs to take this situation into their hands ASAP. This building will not hear the end of this issue from our behalf until they allow me to break the lease or FIX the issue beyond just fumigating it every week cause clearly that is not the solution. Extremely disappointed to find that this "luxury building" or so they claim is infested with roaches.
pragna told me i was accepted and asked for $1,000 deposit and then proceeded to tell me i was denied and hasn't issued me my refund!
I wait for 10 minutes or more and nobody stay in front desk to ask. Like 3 persons after and before on me don't receive any attention.
While I do not blame the leasing agent, my experience at Bay Parc was absolutely terrible. My appointment window was triple booked, with another person waiting, while the leasing agent was with yet another person who was late because of a "medical emergency," but was still there, again, not her fault, she has to accommodate if someone is late. After an email inquiry, text message conversation AND phone call, the staff still was not aware of my needs as a potential resident - the same questions were asked again when I arrived. I drove an hour to my appointment, and was told to park in "future resident parking" in which there were no open spots, so I had to park in a 15 minute "delivery only" space, but the leasing agent let them know not to tow or ticket my car. That was a worrisome beginning to the visit. I attempted to navigate myself from the parking garage to the Lobby, with no signage or elevator buttons denoting the lobby. Upon arriving in the lobby, I did not know who to approach to let the leasing agent know I was there. Eventually, I asked someone standing at a podium, and she pointed me to the leasing agent sitting at a table with another person. After waiting a few minutes, I approached her and apologized for interrupting, but wanted to let her know I was there for my appointment. She apologized and said she'd be with me shortly. I waited 45 minutes - and was late for another appointment because of it - to be shown a completely gutted apartment while the agent described what the unit would eventually look like. I did not see an empty unit, or even a model unit and was surrounded by workers in what was a potentially dangerous environment with wires, pipes, screws, nails and metal for someone to walk through, at one point inadvertently kicking a piece of metal that was on the floor on the way to the gutted apartment. I then learned that there were no apartments available anyway, at least until July and the agent could only provide limited information on the actual unit coming available in July. The lobby was crowded, I was dodging maintenance workers, cleaning crews mopping with no regard for the people around them, ladders and packs of small dogs all being walked around together. There was no front desk, no leasing office, the leasing agent was just at a table in the lobby and had no office, with no eye out for her next appointment, as she was with someone. I was privy to a conversation of a resident inquiring about her emergency request for maintenance over a weekend due to a water leak, in which the staffer at the podium was nice about her request, but had no record of it in their system, while the tenant reiterated that she submitted it. When I asked the leasing agent if the lobby was always like this, she said that it was a unique community with young, active people who love this type of atmosphere. I am 37, I am young and active - I cannot see how anyone would find this experience positive unless they don't care about where they live and just want a place. The lobby from front to back was like the Port Authority terminal in NYC. Upon leaving, I was charged a $2 fee for parking in "future resident parking." The $2 fee doesn't bother me, what bothered me was that after a disastrous experience and thinking I'm coming in as a welcomed guest and "future resident," I had to take any action just to leave the place. The leasing agent said she was working to fix the signs in the garage and lobby, but the building has much bigger issues that need to be addressed. I'm sure the apartments are nice, unfortunately I wasn't able to see one after driving an hour and waiting 45 minutes, but overall the experience was enough to make me never go back there again.
I moved in August 2016. Everything was cool. Had a pool, quiet lounge area with wifi, pool, and a nice gym. About 6 months in, all of it was tore down without notice. People sign leases for not only the apartment, but all of the amenities. They could have at least did one project at a time. Construction is being done every single day, it is loud. If you work overnight i feel bad for you. The elevators are constantly going down. Someone broke into my car twice, and the garage is supposed to be secured. The only thing good out of this place is the location. There is a park across the street, biscayne bay, publix, and many hotels just in case you have visitors.
Scheduled an appointment for tour and my tour was canceled 5 min before arrival. The reason was " we don't have model apartments " , than I asked about tour just for amenities and building... I also was not able to do that!! THANK YOU SO MUCH LEASING OFFICE FOR THE TOUR. By the way , It was ANTHONY with who I was speaking. He said he gonna send me a videos or pictures of apartments. Soo what , I got NOTHING. Means Leasing office staff do not care about people who live there. It is not a cheap place but Leasing staff behave like they work in highway 1 star hotel for people who spend 1 hours with......... thats all. Thank you. Hopefully, you not gonna delete that review and people will be notified .
Hello, my husband and I were living 15 months as stipulated in the contract in this condominium from June 2017 until September 2018 ... from the second month of being rented the problems began. problems 1- We were robbed inside the car in the parking lot of the condominium where it supposedly existed or there is security, it is all a lie ... starting that we saw every person that lives there that gives FEAR. 2-They entered any person from the street and put the car without caring that this parking space already belonged to the residents and we passed many times and nobody to anything and paying two parking spaces each square $ 120 3- Horrible the smell of porro both in the elevator and in the hallway of the floor and pool. 4- We stayed for a year with a permanent noise in the air conditioning that let us sleep and never fixed anything, when the technician would not find the solution .. The dishwasher did not work well and they did not find what it was. 5-We paid the pesticide control and the cockroaches were on holiday at all times ... and the pesticide control came sometimes and sometimes not ... in the end we always had cockroaches. And finally ... they send you a statement a month before leaving the apartment telling you that they need to know the day we will leave the apartment to do the impecion and if we were to deliver the apartment without cleaning they would charge $ 90 to clean it. We as we are educated and clean people leave the apartment IMPECCABLE !! WITHOUT ANY SCRATCHES IN THE WALLS AND SUPER CLEAN .. THE DAY OF THE IMPETION THAT WE WERE TO CARRY THE KEYS WERE NO LONGER AND WE WERE LEFT TO LEAVE THE KEYS TO LEASE AGENT (ANTONY) AND THE REFUSE TO SEE IN WHAT CONDITIONS WE HAD LEFT THE APARTMENT IN OUR PRESENCE .... WHAT WAS OUR SURPRISE? THEY MADE THE IMPETION IN OUR ABSENCE ... AND 15 DAYS THEY CALLED US TO TELL US THAT THEY WILL COLLECT US $ 300 FROM THE MONEY OF THE DEPOSIT BECAUSE WE HAD NOT HIRED A PROFESSIONAL CLEANER AND SO WAS. !!! AS WE ARE PEOPLE WITH VALUES AND SINCERE WE MAKE THEM KNOW THAT THEY HAVE MUCH CARE AND DO NOT LET THEMSELVES ... SENORS IT IS NOT WORTH TO PAY $ 2200 AND HAVE A HEAVY AND UNPLEASANT ATTENTION AND WE DO NOT DESERVE TO LIVE IN THOSE CONDITIONS AND THAT THEY STEAL US. WE HAD LEFT THE MICROWAVE, REFRIGERANT FRIDGE. THAT WAS YOUR ARGUMENT TO STEAL US $ 300 FROM THE DEPOSIT. I'LL UPLOAD PHOTOS TO SEE HOW IT WAS THAT WE LEFT THE APARTMENT BEFORE LEAVE AND THAT WE DO NOT DESERVE TO BE TREATED LIKE THAT WAY AND THAT THEY HAVE STEALED US. ADVICE I GIVE YOU: 1-RECORD EVERYTHING YOU TELL THEM. 2-MAKE VIDEO SINCE THEY ENTER THE APARTMENT 3-DO NOT LEAVE THE APARTMENT CLEAN BEFORE YOU LEAVE BECAUSE YOU'LL BE STEALED EVEN IF YOU TRY TO LEAVE CLEAN .. AS THEY'LL BE STEALING YOU LEAVE IT IN BAD CONDITIONS AND DO NOT LOSE TIME AND MONEY IN LEAVING IT AS WE DID. I PUT A PHOTO OF THE $ 750 THAT WE GAVE DEPOSIT THIS WAS WHAT WE WERE RETURNED WITHOUT REASON NONE. SENSORS ATTENTION! THEY ARE THE TESTS SO THAT THEY DO NOT DECEIVE THEM.
Better off at Quantum of the Bay (1900 North Bayshore Drive). They are more professional than these people.
They are too expensive
Bay Parc or Bay Shart? Living in Bay Parc was really bad, like a shart. The pictures, quickly raising rental rates if you don't sign lease on the spot, and a well coordinated tour by leasing agents will put you at ease and you may even sign a lease. That's when the unexpected shit happens.I signed a lease for Lanai #1, monthly rent was over $3,300 and daily I woke up to shit, piss, broken bottles, and trash covering the entire lanai. Much of the valuation of the property was clearly due to lanai and location which were/are completely unusable.Lanai #1 was not registered as an address during remodel. It took me months to be able to get mail because the address didn't exists virtually. We were eventually able to solve after working with USPS directly. This all occurred after representatives from Bay Shart registered multiple changes of address in my name without my will while trying to solve. Elevators never all function and the front entrance is almost always covered in dog urine and waste. The produce brought in for Pura Vida sits on the ground where dogs pee early in the morning. Roaches are in the walls. I served a 7-day notice to cure on Bay Shart and Regional Mgr Tanner for above named issues, He said he would allow us to leave with no lease break. Carlos was brought in and we gave him a chance to fix it, by being patient the rules somehow changed and Tanner made the decision I needed to pay a lease break fee. I think it says volumes when you realize I willfully paid 3k in lease break fees, the cost of movers, and took on the inconvenience of the move to simple get out of there. From a leadership perspective the place is a joke. "Patrick" is still on half the correspondence they send out. Carlos has replaced him - he says he's been told he manages properties like they're the Ritz Carlton (he doesn't) and Tanner at the regional level whose total ineptitude made me feel incredibly solid about shorting Aimco stock. Save yourself the time and stay away!
If only 0 stars was an option. This is a roach community run by thieves. Be smart, read the low-scoring reviews and notice how many likes they have, from previous residents. The truth about this place is written all over this review page and it's as clear as day. Don't make the mistake of letting these people trap you because the lobby looks nice because you WILL regret it. Worst property in Downtown/Edgewater by far for the highest price, complete with unavoidable and very-well-hidden-until-you-sign-the-lease fees. AVOID.
Worst place ever. Hidden fees. Constant construction.
We don't recommend this building.
Beware, scam! Stole my $100 They charge an application fee for apartments that don't exist and then they don't return it. Don't apply.
It was the worse year I have had in a building here in Miami. The roach problem they have is huge. There were roaches everywhere inside and outside the apartment. I tried to end my lease agreement due to an allergy I got from the roaches and they did not even accept it. Do not move there.
DO NOT MOVE INTO THIS BUILDING. WORST BUILDING IN DOWNTOWN EDGEWATER BRICKELL AREA, TERRIBLE STAFF, TERRIBLE ELEVATORS, TERRIBLE RESIDENTS, PETS EVERYWHERE, STAY AWAYYYYYY
The worst experience I have ever had in a building, now that I read the reviews I realize that I am not the only one who hates living here. The experience with customer service is good before signing the contract, once you sign it is as if you did not exist, the elevators never work, you have to wait 20 minutes to be able to go up or down, the apparatus did not have points to turn on the light, I had to buy lamps for every corner of the house and as if that were not enough they limited my visits. The view is very nice and the pool is the same, but they are not worth the rent here.
the leasing process is very unprofessional! i have been waiting 3 weeks for my deposits back! no one responds or has an answer!!
Really not a great place to live. It looks nice from the outside but I am counting down the days until I can get out of here. Elevators rarely are fully operational and some floors have roach infestations. I consistently see apartments pop up that are the exact same as mine and $500 less per month, assuming because people are trying to get out of here quickly
The worst building i ever lived ! The personal are unfriendly, always something happen with the elevators. The only good thing about this place its the location. You can find better places for less money in the same area.
I sent in an application to this property and after it was approved (after checking my credit score, employment record, etc), I received a call from the leasing office to inform me that the apartment I applied for was not available, and that there were others available for $800 more than what I was quoted. In addition, I paid $1100 for the deposit for the apartment, but only received a receipt I would be refunded for $1000 (as in $100 application fee was not going to be refunded). To summarize, I was scammed for $100 for an application for an apartment that does not exist... I called the leasing office multiple times, plus texted the leasing manager, but was ghosted by all.
I paid $100 application fee and $750 holding fee to apply to live here and was approved. The holding fee did not hold the unit for me. They changed my unit a month after I was approved and I did not want this new unit. They are refusing to return my holding fee because more than 72 hours had passed since my application was approved, and now I need to go to small claims court.
DON'T DARE MOVE INTO THESE APARTMENTS. IN LESS THAN TWO MONTHS I WAS ROBBED 3 TIMES. THEY OPENED MY CAR TWICE AND THEY JUST STOLEN MY MOTORCYCLE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THERE IS NO SECURITY. THE SAME POLICE TOLD US THAT THEY HAD ARRESTED 20 PEOPLE WHO LIVED THERE. THE WORST PLACE IN MIAMI TO LIVE.
Don't let the photos fool you. It's all a facade. It has 1.5 stars for a reason, don't do it to yourself. If you are looking for a quiet comfortable place to live in Edgewater, choose a different property. Here's a -short- list of my experience in 2 years here: - The building has a massive roach problem. Look at all the other recent reviews here. Once you sign, you are now sharing an apartment with a roach community. - The entire front of the building has a strong odor of dog poop. - There is constant smell of backed up garbage in the trash chutes. - If you're unlucky and get loud neighbors, you can hear them talking and hear their dogs pacing back and forth all night with the paper thin walls. - Your balcony, if you are unlucky enough to face Aria, will be forever filthy and unusable, coated with a film of dust/dirt from the loud fans located on the ground level. - There is mold and mildew in the units growing in the closets. They will not do anything about it and it poses a health risk. - They have plumbing issues and when a pipe bursts and floods your apartment, they will use an industrial area fan to blow into your unit from the hallway for days on end. - Staff constantly comes into your unit unannounced with no explanation and don't even have the decency to turn the lights off before they leave. - You will pay for the lights and water for the building at rates that increase whenever they see fit, in addition to your own FPL and water. These fees will cost more than your own monthly bills. I lived in a 1-bedroom apartment and paid $30 in FPL, but $50+ in "community electric" fees each month. Same with community water. And community tax. And convenience fees. And parking taxes. And other fees you can't dispute. Patrick will not explain why, but he will promise "it's another company that charges that -- I will look into it" and hopes you forget to follow up. Stay on him like a hound for any resolution, but expect him to give you the runaround. You will either pay them or you will pay them with a late fee attached because he will not respond. Contact me via PM and I can show you the invoices. - You will pay move-out fees of $500+ which is not outlined in the lease. - Patrick will purposely avoid you if he sees you in person because he is a childish and inept manager that is incapable of resolving tenant issues. - The lobby is renovated, but the remainder of the building is not. There is disgusting stained carpet on all tenant floors except pool level. Don't take my word for it -- ask for a tour and see for yourself. - After a few weeks when you realize you made a mistake moving in, you will be charged 4 months rent if you attempt to move out early, plus all community fees for months you didn't even live there. - You will wait 10-15 mins for the elevators daily because they are constantly out of service. - There is always piss in the elevators. - That said, there are homeless people that sleep around the front door. - The "automated" parking system works 2 days out of the week, but on the remaining days you will probably be late for work while you wait 15 mins for the cars in front of you to incessantly push the button and wait for a concierge that is never at the desk for assistance. - The visitor parking fees are astronomical. After 2 hours you will be paying $25. And $50 for a lost ticket. - After 2 years of living here, there is still constant construction ongoing and unkept promises of amenities. - Concierge is always rude, unhelpful and clueless and Patrick has been caught instructing them to call the police on tenants. - They will mistakenly tow your car without notice even if you are a paying resident. - When you move out, they will provide you with a list of fees you will be charged (only if you ask) after having been informed you won't be getting your deposit back. - Most of the fees are community fees from +3 months in arrears that you never agreed to. When you ask for an explanation, one will not be provided - They will not provide you with a move-out inspection.
HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE Management is horrible, administration is horrible, do NOT rent here. THIS PLACE WILL NICKEL AND DIME YOU - RUN AWAY Lots of Hidden Fees , poor appliances ... nothing is as it seems. The place is overpriced for what you get and the hidden fees will add up to over $100 a month. You get charged for a "cooling fee" which is the electric for the lobbys A/C. Your bill each month is way more than you thought it would be when you signed the lease. Honest advice, its not in a bad area at all, but this building is not worth it. Do yourselves a favor and move elsewhere. We will not be renewing our lease.
I've lived here for several years. Although there have been some improvements to the building, they seem to have been done without any real thought, and are done in a half-assed fashion. For example, the elevator upgrades have not made elevator traffic any better - instead it's a confusing system where passengers are "grouped" together but it's not efficient. The pavers in front of the building are loose, especially right in front of the entrance doorway, so it's only a matter of time until someone trips and falls on them. The ongoing construction (at a painstaking pace) means that construction workers monopolize elevators and the elevators are often filthy dirty. The halls which haven't been upgraded have dirty smelly carpets. The stench from the trash chute circulates through the whole hallway. What idiot decided it was a good idea to install white tile on the floors of a busy apartment building which is dog-friendly? The floors are always so dirty looking, and the cleaning staff just swabs the floor with their mops, spreading the dirt up onto the walls. And there are roaches, so many roaches. Then there are security problems - at night, the front desk staff is often gone for great periods of time, leaving the lobby completely unattended. The homeless people in the area know this, so they can be found sleeping just outside the building, and I've seen them sleeping on the chairs/sofa in the lobby a few times. They also enjoy using the bathroom facilities which are on the first floor, without anyone stopping them. The set up of the front desk, which has no access to the elevator lobby unless the staff jumps the desk or walks all the way around the hallway is just stupid. It has taken this place literally MONTHS to try to install a gate system for residents to enter the parking lot, but it's still not fully operational, so the gates are frequently open all night long, leaving residents' cars vulnerable to break-in. You get nickle-and-dimed to death with extra charges on your bill ("cooling fee," pest control, water, parking, sewage, even a BILLING FEE - that's right, they bill you for the privilege of getting a bill!!!). There is a review here about someone feeding the pigeons on the balcony, and the review said that an email will be sent to all residents asking them to stop. NOPE, no such email was ever sent. If you want to get the A/C filter changed for your unit, (which should be done monthly) you can't just get one from the maintenance staff, you have to submit a request through the on-line portal, schedule a time for them to come and install it. What a pain the neck. I haven't moved out yet, but based on other reviews, I fully expect to be ripped off when I do leave this place.In addition, there are a lot of shady people who have moved in lately - don't be surprised if you get on the elevator and find some big guy looming over young women wearing hooker clothes - looks like human trafficking to me. And don't be surprised if you get on the elevator and it reeks of marijuana, even though this is supposed to be a smoke-free building. I came down early one morning and found a whole congregation of seedy looking people hanging out in the lobby, drinking and carrying on, with the security guard joining in!There are a lot of dogs in the building that are not supposed to be here (pit bulls, german shepherds, huskies, for example) according to the on-line breed restriction list. There should be pet cleanup products stashed on the elevators for when the dogs have an accident - it can happen, but at least then it would be easier for the owners to clean up the mess. A lot of dog owners let their dogs use the bathroom right outside the front door in the landscaping, making the place reek of urine.Also, though this isn't really management's fault, but whether you are on the north or south side of the building, be prepared for a lot of LOUD noise all night, especially over the weekend, as the sounds of some of your obnoxious thoughtless neighbors and nearby dance clubs partying all night long reverberates across the buildings. The building does have a good location, and it's nice that it's close to publix, there is a convenience store downstairs and the gym/pool areas are ok. There is a doggie daycare place which looks awesome if you have a dog. The lockers do make it easy to get deliveries of packages. The maintenance staff is pretty responsive. But these few positives do NOT make up for the huge numbers of negatives at this increasingly low-class building.
WARNING! DANGER! DO NOT LIVE HERE! If I could rate this place ZERO STARS I would. The level of unprofessional behavior by staff, leasing office personnel and the property management company, Aimco, has been profound. If you live here expect to pay through your teeth for sub-par living space in a mismanaged or rather un-managed environment. The building manager, a Patrick Mcgarry, for all intent's and purposes does not exist leaving you to deal with whomever is available - good luck. I lived in bay parc for over a year and never saw the man. Maintenance will enter without notice or permission, there are serious pest control issues (roaches), and the bathtubs haven't been replaced in a decade they just paint the bottom to make them look fresh. This fresh look does not last very long and basic cleaning and upkeep becomes harder and harder. The garage is an unsafe nightmare, gates never work right, reserved spots get taken and they tow residents cars at will and given the disarray of the property office you need a miracle to not have problems on a continuous basis. At move-out you'll pay $90 for them to claim they professionally cleaned your already clean apartment , and over $200 to paint the place with the stuff they have sitting around. Save yourself time, money and aggravation live somewhere else, Opera tower, The Grand are both right there and way better. And never live at an Aimco property.
Worst experience ever.... Marihuana smell all over the place, not able to sleep due to construction next door. Dirty place, security guards rude. Do not Rent here....
Having lived here nearly 2 years, it has been one of the worst experiences of any property I've stayed on. Previously living on an Aimco property, I should have known what to expect: poor guest/management relations, elevators always broken down, numerous expenses including "clean air" ( when it smells like an 90's hotel in the hallway) and ridiculous rent for having noise in the building constantly. I personally work nights, sleep into the afternoon, and with floors being redone and construction starting merely after I get a chance to fall asleep, my days are long and tiring. Having to pay nearly 1800 a month, including 100 a month for my support animal, I find this building to be ludicrous on the charges/guest satisfaction. The building management do not respond promtly. My a/c was out for 3 days, and not even an apology, or any attempt to compensate for an amenity i pay..also cooling charges and utility charges for the building?? Why should that come out of our pockets to pay for the business expenses? Every operating business has those expenses, but you dont see us getting charged to go into publix and paying their electric bills, except for the purchases we make I.e our rent. The maintenance staff are all kind, but with one only speaking english, it very much limits to just him in any situation I need, without frustration. The day I moved in, my mother got knocked out and rolled down the gate entry after following valet attendant to retrieve something out of her car, and the gate came down on her head. One thing after another, and that definitely was not a great way to start my loving experience here. I Will not be resigning a lease, nor will I recommend anyone to live on an Aimco property.
So Yelp removed my review of Bay Parc. They say it was offensive! Offensive for only telling the truth roach infested building. What suckers. This is not defamation.
ABSOLUTELY AVOID!! AND ALSO AVOID GIVING THE DOWN PAYMENT TO MAIDEL, IF SHE ASKS YOU, BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR THE $700 DOWN PAYMENT FROM MAIDEL FOR TWO WEEKS, BUT SHE HAS DISAPPEARED AND DOESN'T EVEN RESPOND TO EMAILS AND THE PHONE ANYMORE! THEY ARE INCORRECT AND REALLY NOT SERIOUS!
DO NOT MOVE HERE. ONLY ONE ELEVATOR WORKING even though there are 5. Be prepared to wait 20 minutes or more to get on the elevator. Lived here for 2 years and elevators are always broke.
I'm so glad that I didn't signed that lease. Too much bs just to get a lil space to live! I heard the bad experiences from friends and I listened. So many fees, so much money upfront that you might don't see it later.
Roaches Roaches Roaches !! Do not move here the place is infested with roaches. At the price point I am paying I shouldn't see any bugs. Much less nasty roaches!
EDIT: I just got a bill for $365 on top of our security deposit for damages such as "needing to paint the scuffs on the walls" 6 months after we moved out. This is s disgusting corrupt business that is just after your money- STAY AWAY!!!!!! They may respond to these public messages but attack you behind the scenes. Terrible experience from start to finish: When we signed our lease we were promised that the apartment would be cleaned and several repairs would be made before we moved in. Unfortunately a week later we moved into a dirty apartment with a washer/dryer that didn't work properly, light bulbs that still needed to be replaced, and damaged/scuffed walls and doors. We were also told that we would be able to have packages delivered the day we moved in. Unfortunately due to the LuxerOne system which needed to be set up ahead of time, and a security employee who was stealing packages, we had over $1000 in packages disappear. Bay Parc was not helpful in recovering our packages, and while they fired the employee, and LuxerOne had video evidence of the theft, Bay Parc's management would not allow LuxerOne to release the video to the police, so we were not able to get our packages back. Read the fine print on your lease: our $1650 apartment ended up costing us over $1740 a month after they added charges for things like communal space air-conditioning, despite the fact that only the lobby is kept cold (too cold in my opinion) and the elevators and upper floor hallways are very warm, especially in the supper. During our time living at Bay Parc, the elevators were frequently not working, and the elevators and lobby frequently had dog pee or poop due to tenants not respecting common space/having control over their animals. Another huge issue we had was with our neighbors smoking. From the moment our new neighbors moved in, they smoked like chimneys and if we ever opened our balcony doors our whole apartment would stink. Bay Parc is supposed to be a smoke-free building; they call it "a breath of fresh air." What a lie! There are often folks smoking right out front and in their apartments, and that makes the carpeted hallways smell (as does lingering pet urine). The location is great- next to a Parc and a Publix, and from the 39th floor, we had pretty great views, but the unit was dated and the management was rude, unhelpful, and unresponsive when we needed them most. After move-out Bay Parc invented a bunch of charges so as to avoid giving us our security deposit. They gave us charges over the amount of our security deposit- these jerks wanted us to give them more money. For example, they charged us for the scuffs on the walls- the ones that we asked to be removed before we moved in but they weren't. Shouldn't they be cleaning between tenants anyway? They also refused to help us with getting our utilities shut down. In general, a terrible experience. We got bad vibes almost immediately after signing- our once responsive leasing agent started ignoring our calls. In summary: -management does not care about current tenants, just about acquiring new tenants -good location -prepare to be nickle and dimed -most units are dated -lots of smokers (including Patrick, the manager) -package system is horrible -carpeted hallways are ugly, smelly, and not air-conditioned
Alllll the reviews are exactly on point. Elevators don't work ever. The staff feel scammy.
Do not rent here, stay away from this place... Elevators do not work, 25 min waiting to get to your floor. Construction next door do not let you sleep. Cars have been stolen from parking. Dirty place...Security guards are super rude... Bad reputation in the area and is very expensive place. DO NOT RENT HERE....
Do not I repeat do not move here! It's a joke... I've lived here twice... don't know how. They are such a rip. Elevators never work. The WORST part, they charged a $400 fee for "walls" upon moving out with no explanation. This place will do anything for a dollar and they don't value their residents. I'm warning you don't pay for this overpriced unethical building!
Stop this lady from feeding the pigeons. The shit all over balconies waiting for her to feed them!! Management needs to do something immediately please!!
If you would like to have your money squeezed out of you by a morally corrupt company then this place is for you. There are much better places in Miami. For your own sanity I recommend you avoid this place.
For all this high priced rent I have roommates who don't pay anything: the ROACHES. I have seen one in my apartment almost everyday since Sunday 2/17/18. Before that I had seen at least 5! I am charged for pest control yet the pest roommates are still here. There's nothing state of the art about he gym - there's no screen to Bluetooth my phone for workouts like I've sent in cheaper apts. not to mention no bars for the pulley machine. No business center for residents. A ghetto valet who smokes - BUT it's mkt as a smoke free building. Pet restrictions but any and every kind of dog is in the elevators. Roaches roaches roaches roaches
We stayed for 1 and 1/2 year paying 1 bedroom for $1800 and now they are charging and over price extra fee after we left for some little scratches that were made before we received the apt. It looks like you are getting a good deal in a beautiful area but in reality you will end up paying too much money for "extra fees" even after you left.
The unprofessionalism is astonishing, even past moralistic characteristic. Young, black male, who is a business owner & a restaurant manager, was unable to rent or even take control of his own time while being here. Before I continue, I need to state that this was NEVER about the money, but the devotion to JUSTICE & PEACEFUL LIVING.After subletting and finding out that the tenant was illegally doing so, I went straight to management and notified them of the situation. ("Starr" was with his impregnated wife, and stated he needed someone to take over the lease .)Notifying managers was my BIGGEST mistake. I quickly realized that I didn't fit the "criteria" of the people who lived there. Blonde hair, light skin, and a devotion to blessing sex workers. As I looked around frantically hoping they would give me a chance, bbls & fake bodies overwhelmed me, and not that I'm against it, but diversity is nice, no?MOST IMPORTANT: anyways, after realizing the gist of what was happening, getting told prices "tripled because of market", old lease was gonna end early and a whole bunch of bs, I realized the battle wasn't worth it. EVERYDAY while living there staff made me feel as if I didn't belong, it wasn't good for my soul.When I left for a week for mental health, financial, and stability reasons I came back to an empty apartment. 7k worth of furniture, TVs, expensive clothing and shoes (LV Ferragamo & Yeezys) all trashed. No warning. They had my number, I reached out to to EVERYONE, and they waited until I left to throw all of my belongings away. Without a Sherriff and illegally because they KNEW the process to sue them is too hectic and not worth it.They are bullies, and today I have nothing. No clothes, or anything, just square one.If you're a pale old wealthy person who likes young people and want a safe spot to play then this is for you.If you're searching for peace and tranquillity, stay away.Honorable mentions: Balcony views are that of another building. Trash with 2 BIG FANS are always blowing the smell of garbage in your place.Roach infested, literally. And I've sealed off corners in the place, still got in. As if they breed in the walls. Pest control does nothing.They cover all defects with paint, nothing is ever renovated. The smell of dog piss and shit exfoliates your face every time you enter an elevator. It's about the money and even too much of that won't get you blessed with Bayparc's entirety.The one black guy who works there, looks like a runaway slave that's happy he's not picking cotton for the rest of his life.Bayparc I wish I could say, but it really hasn't been a pleasure. Thank you, I PRAY AND HOPE management reads.cjw
I lived here for a year and it was the worst apartments I lived in my life. First the charge for pest control but it is infested with fleas and roaches. I had to remove my dogs from the property to protect from fleas and since moving them out they have been flea free. Second the maintenance will enter in your apartment whenever they feel like with no warning or knock. For example I was in the bathroom and they just walked in. Third they randomly charge you common room fees (ex. Elevators, hallways etc) and range from 100-300 that seem to randomly be added to your rent. Like isn't the 1800 your getting for my one bedroom enough. Keep it mind my view is the wall of aria! If I knew then what I know now I wouldn't let the nice pool deck and lobby fool me into signing a lease at a subpar apartment that claims to be luxury.
I was visiting the bay parc facility and the dirty corner bathrooms in a dusty corridor were a shame that the cleaning service is of very poor quality for such an elegant place.
I applied at this location and to be told my credit report is lower than a 500 and my application was denied and I need a consigner. before applying at this location, I applied for a mortgage and received my preapproval letter, I own properties now , I wanted to relocate to open a business in Miami. after telling management I have a cosigner, I was asked if that person is 700 over, they run the credit threw credit karma. after reading the reviews about roaches. i just told them to cancel. I am just going to purchase.
