I've lived here for a year and have no complaints the building is clean and the tenants are quiet. The apartments are beautiful and spacious and the view is amazing! I haven't had a bug problem, actually haven't even seen a bug yet. I had a problem with my plumbing and someone came immediately as well as a loose shelf that was installed before I moved in. Everyone there is very friendly; Christina, the property manager is reasonable and respectful, as well as the leasing agent- Emily.
They always make sure to establish a connection with the residents. The tenants are nice and I have never heard anything but good things from them. It's a shame that people only come here to complain and the rating will steer people away. But this is the best apartment i've ever lived in!

Bed bugs and beetles. As soon as moved in, I found the kitchen was overrun with pantry beetles. These beetles were in every corner of the kitchen, living in piles of old food under all the appliances. I alerted the landlord to exactly what the problem was and even the identity of the bugs. I waited for Orkin to come, I waited for Orkin to order stuff to treat, and I am still waiting. It took a lot of convincing to get them to do anything about the beetles.
It didn't take long for the beetles to infest my things. I was revolted to find them in my coffee machine. Having lived there less than 2 weeks, I then found constallations of bite marks on my body and bed bug shells behind my bed. They brought Orkin back and couldn't find live bugs. Sutten would rather let the infestation grow than treat it. I have since left the apartment, with all my stuff still there.
It will cost a lot of money to get the bugs out of all my possessions. Their response to my emails really sums up their attitude: "When agreeing to a sublet, you are agreeing to take the apartment as is"

Seems like there should be an update. Still not a great place to live. Water cuts out randomly and there isn't a super on site to fix problems urgently if needed. Either Syracuse water and power have trouble reinforcing their water main as the reason is always "water main broke" or they are just making an excuse. I would bet on the latter as their sister building would have water. Parking lot isn't well maintained and no one can park straight.
No cameras in the lot so if someone scrapes your car, good luck trying to find out who. They do a pest control inspection routinely and multiple times a year which I'm not sure if it is a good or bad thing. Numerous pigeon droppings on your balcony (which they say is your responsibility to clean). In retrospect, would find somewhere else to live.

Sutton came to my office today looking to talk about "my lease". So rude. We couldn't get them to leave. There should be laws against this!
