Do yourself a favor and DO NOT move here. When we picked our apartment unit on the 4th floor, East side of the building, the staff accidentally âforgotâ to mention that there is an establishment called Stacyâs right outside our window. When we first toured our unit, we did notice there was this restaurant type of building right outside of our window, but oh did we have a surprise that same night when the quiet looking place outside our window turned into a loud and obnoxious bar. Iâm in my late 20s and I definitely like to party, but they play loud music every night, every week, with a bonus of parking lot festivals every once in a while. When we looked at the Curve at Melroseâs site, they have a map of their nightlife nearby, in which Stacyâs is not listed. When we approached the property manager about it, she said âthatâs weird, nobody on that side of the building has complained about the loud musicâ. But the problem is that they do hear it because I have talked to my neighbors and they have agreed that the noise is overly loud, but they just arenât willing to complain because they know they are stuck with a 12-13 month lease and all their stuff is already moved in. So I decided to bring it up to PB Bell, which is the company that owns the property. I wrote them several emails, most of them being sent late at night on a work night while I could not sleep due to the loud noise. After over a month, a manager called me back and offered to move us to a different unit on the opposite side of the building, but we would have to pay $200 and accept the new, higher prices of the unit, which I turned down, because I should have been told that there was going to be loud music and people screaming out my window in my first place. They way they see it is, we know you got an apartment with us, you donât like the noise?now you must spend some money with us and a fee of $200 on top to have not just a nice place but a nice, quiet place. I like to consider myself a flexible and understanding person who rarely chooses to complain about something, but I donât believe they are in the business of being clear and sincere with their future residents.
