Review History for forcedtoliveatavalon

Corcoran Management are bush league, dirty , unethical, lying frauds

I was told I could tour the only apt. in the complex that was available, when I got to the leasing office the agent was about to give me a tour, she was called back into the office by the property manager and had a closed door meeting, the agent came out of the meeting and said I could not tour the apt. cause it was occupied. The agent said she can show me the apt. from the outside. I was taken all the way around the building instead of going through the building. When I moved in I noticed a very loud generator noise coming from the other side of my bedroom wall. That is the reason the manager told the leasing agent not to let me see the apt. and this was also verified by my neighbors who told me the apt. was vacant for months because of a major flood from upstairs! It is my opinion that this is an act of fraud and ethics violations by Corcoran Management! The noise I hear are multiple pumps that power the water as well as the irrigation for the building, all of the buildings have this problem on the floor the pump room is on, I can't sleep at night because of the noise, I have to pull my mattress out of the bedroom and put it on the living room floor and close the bedroom doors! I'm paying $1475 a month to sleep on the floor ,also the apts. next to the elevator have a similar problem in the bedrooms because the elevator motor can be heard through the walls and this management company won't fix the problems! I asked for a transfer and was told the available apts. were only for 40b tennants AKA section 8 or low income ( wink wink single mothers with screaming children) I then called corporate office , they never are available to talk, it took months for them to return my call and they were unaware of the problem because the property manager never forwarded my complaint to them! she just sits there and rolls her eyes at you and nods her head at you and then walks away, she makes unproffesional comments like " If you don't like it move " I was told by her boss the Sr. regional manager of Corcoran management that they would put up a sound proof wall! after 8 months they put up some plastic foam pieces over the concrete wall and that didn't work, then he said they would have to go into the apt. and put up a sound proof wall! which they did not, instead they took the cowards way out by non renewing my lease at its end so they dont have to spend the money to fix the problem! The sr. regional manager said " Its a business decision" They will seek to rent this apt. to some unsuspecting person! Make sure you see your apts. if you choose to rent here! but save yourself the problem and dont rent here!They lied to me for months about a transfer there have been multiple move ins and outs, then they make an excuse and say I need a co signer when I make six figures and have no credit card debt! I had no problem getting accepted to other communities much better than this dump! Also in the summer time the hall areas near the trash room become infested with maggets which then hatch into horseflies, a neighbors apt. became infested with them and it took months for management to find the problem! I was yelled at by the manager and maintenance worker because I sprayed Raid and killed all the flies that were nesting in the lighting fixtures in the hallway! They said it was a green building and you are not allowed to use Raid, even in your apt. Can't be much of an echo friendly green building if its infested with maggets and flies and the garbage is stored inside building for weeks! The trashroom is in the building and builds up and smells very bad, when it overflows the trash is then stored in containers and put in the garage where people park! It smells horrible in the summer especially when it is hot and humid in the garage in the summer with no windows open! The carpets in the halls and apts. become wrinkled and dangerous as they tend to wrinkle up and people trip on them! The walls are paper thin as well as the ceilings, the people upstairs from me let their child run all over the house dribbling a basketball, running, pounding the floor, the walls, the metal vent and the balcony and the property manager says thats apt. living and kids will be kids while she rolls her eyes at me! one of the maintenance workers is very rude , he told me on more than one occasion to pack up my stuff and get the hell out! one of my neighbors had her apt. broken into and the management accused her of staging the burglary which turned out to be false! the break in was legit! they actually accused a handicap woman of faking a break in and trashing her own apt. management also does not enforce the garage towing as all the 40b women allow their unemployed boyfriends to park inside the garage when they visit their trashy 40b girlfriends! the building itself is the cheapest low grade construction which is falling apart, doors dont close properly, carpets wrinkle, cabinets are cheap plye wood, very noisy can hear the outside traffic from highway!pool is unheated and very small!no access to the clubhouse after 6pm! loads of screaming children everywhere, people living here just to get there kids in the Lynnfield school system! Its a non smoking property, yet I see the manager lighting up on her way to her car! I have pictures to back up all my claims! I am submitting them! PLEASE DONT MOVE HERE! AVOID ALL CORCORAN COMMUNITIES! AVOID LYNNFIELD COMMONS, CLIFFSIDE COMMONS, PARKSIDE COMMONS, READING COMMONS, BEVERLY COMMONS, SAUGUS COMMONS! THEY ARE NOT LUXURY COMMUNITIES! Corcoran Management are unethical thieves who want to steal your money! They provide no service and if you encounter a problem you will be screwed! Do not be fooled by Lynnfield Commons because it is in Lynnfield! This is the 3rd time I have had to post this review as Lynnfield Commons has had this review taken down twice! They would rather spend their time trying to censore my review than address the problems I listed! A clear sign not to rent here! I am not allowed to mention the apt. # in question as well as the actual locations of the infestation and noise areas, SO PLEASE! DONT THROW YOUR MONEY AWAY! stay away from this place
