STAY AWAY
Reasons you should NOT live at the Drake:
- Expect no hot water in the showers for prolonged periods of time with no remediation. - Your utility bill will go up by $200 in the winter and stay that way for 5 months. - Your apartment will not be adequately heated though you paid $200. - Mice and roaches everywhere. - Water shutoffs. - Slow moving maintenance teams and work to be completed over and over because it wasn’t done right the first time. - Dirty laundry rooms and malfunctioning machines... . - Broken elevators. - Unresponsive and rude management. Expect no one to solve issues in a timely manner.
Most egregiously, in the days before my lease officially ended, they cleaned out my apartment of items that were still in there, and are still not able to find some of them.
The responses to these reviews are pure fluff. Don’t expect anything to be done.
This has probably been the worst rental experience of my life. If I can advise anyone to stay away - I hope this reaches you.
