Exhibit at J Town Apartments

1. **Hot Water Issue**: - There is often no hot water available in the apartment. If you have kids or often work out, dont consider here. 2. **Garage System Malfunction**: - My car got stuck in the garage due to a system malfunction. 3. **Car Mirror Damage**: - The garage caused my car mirror to crack. 4. **Maintenance Delays**: - Urgent maintenance requests are not promptly addressed by the maintainer. - For instance, my smoke detector needed a simple battery replacement, but I had been wait for 3 days. 5. **Weak Network Signal**: - The network signal is not good, but I resolved this by purchasing an extended WiFi solution.

Great apartment with a community experience! Perfect location near Japan Town that is a 3 minute walk away. Maintenance always completed day of and to the highest standard. We were initially concerned with 2 things that have surprisingly not been an issue: 1) Train track noise and 2) Parking. We were pleasantly surprised that the train isnt very disruptive. It ends before 10 PM for quiet zone hours and when it does pass by it takes less than a minute of loud noise (1 or 2 times per day). As for parking, we had no issue parking 3 cars on the street (there is also a garage). We always could find something on the block.

DONT DO IT. Overpriced, property malfunctions everywhere. They have all this tech on the doors, garage, etc. but no urgency to maintain it. People get locked out by broken scanners/locks and a week later we just get a sorry email that theyre trying to fix an issue that continuously happens. The parking garage is the WORST - the machine shuts down MULTIPLE TIMES DAILY and they wont reimburse you for catching Ubers when your car is stuck! Thats ON TOP of the large monthly fees we pay to park in a useless garage. All that money on top of rent and utilities is A LOT to consider. Zero communication on what theyre doing or when they will fix it, and clearly no priority to have it fully functioning properly for the long term. Idk anything technical but I do know poor communication, which has led me to these conclusions. There is ample street parking but tenants have had break-ins AND constant ticketing so park at your own risk. Units are nice but its only two years old (we are the first to live in our unit) so seeing how they dont do much to maintain Im sure itll look rundown in a handful of years. Bathroom faucets and shower have ZERO water pressure. The fan doesnt do a damn thing. Most annoying is the bathroom light has a timer that tenants cant control or stop so the lights just turn off after 15 minutes while you shower etc. The trash chute gets clogged by irresponsible tenants and the trash room is always overflowing and smelly. Tenants are a mix from college students to families and business professionals. Neighborhood is sketchy especially along the railway, large populations of unhoused people who dwell on our parklets, mostly harmless but sad to see. Noise is constant but to be expected living on a railway near downtown and an airport. Walls arent too thin but floors are and some tenants prefer to get in stomping battles instead of communicating like adults. Best parts are the gym and the clubhouse. All new and the only actual thing I see them regularly maintaining. We have a great cleaning crew that works very hard. But to rent the clubhouse is super pricey and limited/restrictions. The gym *was* cool until some meathead kept dropping weights so now we have quiet hours for weightlifting. For the price and the market, you can ABSOLUTELY find better *truly* luxury style modern living for similar cost and better value/benefits. Shoutout to Jesse and Julio who are no longer managing the property, things were much smoother, better communicated, when they were around. Also Ben the maintenance person is awesome. The new manager is nice but whether its him and/or the management company thats enforcing all these rules on tenantsyoure not upholding your end to maintain the quality of living here, and that seems like we tenants are being short changed for what we were originally sold which feels like deception.

From the day I moved in, I regretted ever coming to Exhibit Two serious issues with my apartment unit since the day I moved in: (1) hot water in the kitchen and shower were cold. Before I moved out, the hot water still took 15+ min to reach 100F (human body temperature is 98.6F). Longer if shower in late evening (2) waking up every night from pounding machinery noise like a hammer hitting from above the ceiling during midnight that cycled between on and off throughout the night. Note the unit was at the top floor end unit. None lived above. Both issues were reported restlessly to the manager and to the online maintenance order since day 1. For the shower's hot water problem, the fix from manager/maintenance was by running the shower hot water for long enough to get from cold to lukewarm 100F. The solution they provided was at the cost of my gas bill and utility water bill. The manager attributed the problem to the low filling rate on the residency side. But when I checked the courtyard hot water, it was piping hot. Since changing the unit was indifferent than the cost of breaking the leasing contract, even I was not happy about the shower hot water, I compromised For the noise problem, they promised to bring the construction manager to come over the aparatment unit to check for noise. Never happened. Meanwhile I used noise cancelling earbuds to prevent from waking up and moved to sleep in the living room, nothing helped. Even I fall back to sleep again at midnight, I would be woke up in the next cycle of noise The manager attributed the noise that all apartment itself more or less inherited certain level of noise Eventually, I had to make the most costly decision to pay two months rent penalty + incentive to end contract and to move out My health could not compromise anymore without good sleep, I paid the price/penalty for what Exhibit failed to fulfill and to improve so that I could stay
