You need an attorney, and let them hold management and the builders accountable.
Call a building inspector immediately. Show them the problems and the video footage that you have. That shouldn't be happening in a brand new apartment that was just built. The construction company is clearly doing a horrible job and cutting corners. You need to do this so that no one else has to go through what you did especially since the same crew is still building the other units. You are in a position to stop this. The building inspector can help you.
I live in a problem apartment from hell also so I feel for you. I have dealt with the same issues for years. I also recommend moving immediately. Don't try to stay somewhere like that. Those are huge red flags. I regret not leaving my apartment when the issues first showed up. It's worth the lost time and expense to relocate again because you will only have more problems in a place like that, especially if management isn't responsive. Don't try to stay there just because it's massively inconvenient to have to move again.
Nah baby, I would’ve had to find another place to live. Too much foolishness to deal with in a brand new place, especially with the response from management.
Please tell me you don’t plan to stay past your lease. Brand new place and they don’t want to fix stuff? Sounds like somebody went with the lowest bid on construction and doesn’t want to pony up for their mistake.
Was thinking the same thing
Would love a wedding planning series, so sorry about all the moving inconveniences what a bummer. New buildings usually have an issue with mice because of all the new construction that is happening
This is alot.😢 Im so sorry your dream apartment turned out to be a lemon. Wondering if you can lawyer up and take some legal action to cover the damages and emotional distress you have gone through. This is truly crazy!
Housing Court here you come. I second the notion of getting an attorney. Document everything.
Not sure how leases work in New York but in Texas you can technically get out of your lease if the landlord or complex does not provide you a safe and secure home.It is a violation of the lease agreement. I can totally understand why you would stay because finding a new place and moving again is a lot but I think if they had all those issues then what else could be an issue. I just wouldn’t feel safe. Praying nothing else happens. You and your family deserve a safe place to live. 🙏🏽
This is exactly why people don’t move in to unfinished or newly built places. I am so sorry that you are having to deal with this. I moved to nyc with my 5 months old and I can totally imagine what a nightmare the move was.
I was watching on my TV … picked up my phone to come here and say you need to find out who handles housing rights in your area and or get a lawyer immediately. They’ve shown they’ve done shoddy work which may extend far past what your eyes can see. You are not safe there and they are not taking proper accountability for these supposed mishaps. If all this happening now and the building is brand new how do you think they will handle future problems as the building ages? They are taking advantage of the fact that you don’t know the housing/rentals. You should tell them to let you out of the lease and find somewhere safe to live. If they refuse lawyer up… Trust me when it starts this way it rarely gets better.
I was watching on my tv too and got on my phone to comment. She needs to get out of there.
That is a typical issue in new construction in NYC.
Ya’ll must have really loved the place to stay through all that. I definitely would have found me another home…cuz anit no way! 🤯
Can’t wait to see how you decorated it tho. I know it’s going to be 🔥
Ooof, that was messed up! I get that after that ordeal you guys must be tired and just want to rest and enjoy the home, but I think you should be searching for another place to live. To begin woth, the move in was delayed to to THEM NOT PASSING INSPECTION. This already shows that something must not have been right from the get go. It’s possible they then paid someone to pass the inspection, probably did a piss poor job on fixing the issues, so they could start moving people in as soon as possible (again, they didn’t want to pay for your accommodation when it was their fault) and not spend more money. In these few months you have already experienced serious problems related to the quality of the build itself , and they were still not willing to cover the full cost or at least most of it, for damages that are a clear indication that the company cut corners with this build. And why? Because it’s only about the MONEY. So any new issue you encounter, is gonna play out the same, because this company doesn’t care about people. They don’t care that you have a kid. They don’t care about your neighbours who have also had issues as bad as yours. As long as each month they’re getting the lease from all of you, they don’t care. Sorry for the long rant, but I just hate when companies do this. I hope you and your family can find a solution to this and that you don’t encounter any more issues with the apartment.
I had to deal with this in my house and the landlord just went ghost for 2 years .. at some point we weren’t seeing them so we though pest control handled it until I had one run out while i was in the floor wrapping gifts 😅 I was so pissed especially since I had a toddler but every time we tried to move, we kept getting misses and people were being unreasonable on pricing and security deposits but we finally get to move now and i’m soo ready to leave this disgusting place especially since we’re having another baby soon.. I hope things get better for you 🙏🏽 all of this can definitely be a reason to break lease and get your money back
What a "flooding" story! You guys have the patience of angels. You hung on and insisted on those people to get their act together and deal with the issues. I hope the rest of the year goes well for you. It probably will. You are a good story teller by theway.
The way that this is so similar to my situation!
Brand new complex that got approved for in October. Original move in date was Jan 9, that got pushed. Signed lease to move in on February 12, that just got pushed back because the elevator failed inspection so they can’t get their certificate of occupancy. Move in date is currently schedule for March 1st now! They’ve sent me a video of my unit so it’s the only thing putting me at ease. But it’s stressful 😅
Clearly this video is your warning to run.
Found this channel/video right before moving into my first apartment. I was hoping this video would NOT be relevant to me....... Long story short, I'm about to move to a different apt across from my current one because I'm tired of the PROBLEMS (ceiling AC unit leaking/dripping onto my body while showering was the LAST STRAW)!!!!
Wow! Definitely sorry that you’ve gone through so much. I’m interested in all the content that you’re willing to share: tours, Amazon purchases, wedding content, whatever. Love watching you.
Wow this is so heartbreaking but I'm glad you stayed on them! This is why I don't agree with pre leasing and buildings renting while under construction. They should have to wait until all construction has been completed, inspected by at least 2 different inspectors, and signed off on🤷🏽♀️ they putting buildings and homes up way to fast. Hopefully you can rest easy now... Until your lease is up and you can get out😅
Sis- live out your boxes that you NEED and ride out the lease so you can move and be 90% packed in a year. There is so much more they missed and yall could have toxic walls. This is just the beginning
@royal504traveler3 is correct about probable toxicity, such as mold. Please follow their advice! And, please get an attorney to find your legal
remedy for what you and your family experienced, as there likely were some landlord-tenant laws violated.
Living in boxes and paying ova 3k for the next 9 months is wild . Honestly is supposed to be comfy . I can’t believe u would do that . I’d rather live in a room n everything in storage
Honestly the way construction have dealt with these new apartment bldgs. and new homes are going up so fast that it is all about the money for them and not the safety. Alot of the times they are cutting alot if corners and im sure the rest of tenants are having major issues as well. I know moving is a headache but i would be out of there. Im glad so far no more problems for your family but i would definitely not resign the lease.
Also move!!!! Call L and I. The entire building is a violation they cut corners there are also law regarding mold remediation protocols in nyc. Article 32 in nyc law.
Yes yes to wedding planning content 🥰
😒🙄What......I would move after my lease is up. I would give them a horrible review everywhere. Those people owe you guys much more money than that. That's ridiculous. I hope nothing else goes wrong. I love watching your video's. I wish I was techy like you. Thank you!
Thank you for the video!! 😊The instagram stories weren’t enough!!! 😂
so sorry to hear all you’ve been through with the “new apt”; I hope now you and your sweet little family is able to enjoy without issues! (…and keep yu foot on management neck and yes to wedding planning videos😊)❤
😮 it just got worse as the video went on. I’m so sorry to hear you went through all that……looking forward to the décor videos
Wow your experience was beyond crazy. I am sorry you and your family went through that. I pray they rest of your stay at your apartment is better. Sending love from a fellow mom from the Philadelphia area
I am so sorry you had to go through this unfortunate incidents. Praying for no further incidences. Looking forward to see your apartment and wedding planning videos. Peace and blessings. ❤❤
Sorry you went through this ❤ hope everything goes smoothly moving forward
I’ve been commenting on your stories concerning everything, but bless your heart! I had issues with a rental that I moved into, and had I known what I know now, I would’ve ran.
So sorry for everything you have gone through with you new place.Good Luck hope things get better while living there ❤
From my experience a lot of brand new apartments are appealing to get you in the door to sign the lease, but it mostly crap. The appliances are cheap, the paint and caulking is a mess. Don’t let me start on the water heater.
I was reading though some of the other comments. With all of the increases of rent, there is also an increase in poor craftsmanship. My experience is similar. The mice story is reversed. the week before I moved into my brand-new apartment, after the move in date changed, we caught 5 mice. We moved in July 2023. 3 families who moved into the building after us have already moved out. I have stapled a kitchen drawer bottom back on twice. one of my neighbors' unit flooded twice after she did her laundry. I am looking forward to see what you have done with your place.
Make sure you leave a review. There also has to be a local authority that you could contact to place an official complaint. Maybe the permits department for the city? So sorry you guys went through this. Hopefully you’re on the other side of it and won’t have any more issues. Yes to wedding content.
Omg Sabrina I would have died with the mice!!! N your ABSOLUTELY 10000% ABOUT THE WATER ISSUE.
YES in wedding plans.
I’ve been waiting on this update because I swear I remember you posting when this happened but I couldn’t find the footage anywhere! I’m so glad they replaced everything and moved the pipe! Sheesh! I remember moving into an apartment and there were roaches in the motor of the refrigerator! It took them entirely too long to replace it and then that was it! But it was rough! I can’t imagine mice!
I'm glad to hear you have not experienced issues in 2024 (praying that it stays that way). Sorry to hear about what you went through in 2023 - its too much man.
Still looking forward to seeing the furnished apartment tour - I'm confident that you made the place beautiful and homey despite everything .💕
So sorry your moving experience has not gone well, but praying it will improve.
I would have been mortified!! Good thing you had the cameras that's crazy! U fortunately due to the construction and disturbing the ground that's common for the mice to come in. They should have compensated you for a few months rent at least and yeah I would sue and move at their expense.
My goodness gracious, this is definitely a lawsuit. See and people talk about how homeownership is pricey, but its worth it because you make sure things are done right. These apartment folks dont care cause they arent living there. Smh. Im just glad your son wasnt hurt
Girl, you are being tested! I’m glad to hear everything settled down and I would love to see what you’ve done❤❤❤
I am saddened by your news, and I know how frustrating ALL that can be. I'm am sending blessings & prayers to you and your family!!! 🙏🏾
I’m sorry this has been your experience. Hopefully, that was the beginning and end. I’m here for the wedding planning videos and apartment tour. I followed your page for the smart home but now fully invested. Thanks for sharing l
I'm moving in a few months and I'll be getting my first apartment.... pray for me.
I'm sorry you went through that horrible experience. I do love your decorating style and can't wait to see it. I would also love a wedding planning video.😊
So sorry you guys went through such a hard time. Hopefully it’s smooth sailing from here on out! ✨ I would also love to see a wedding series ☺️
This is absolutely ridiculous. I’m so sorry this happened to you and your family. These companies really don’t care about people’s safety.
I hope you have renters insurance. Most insurance will covered damage and some case go after the property owner for reimbursement.
I would have made them pay for a hotel room for the 2 weeks. It was in contract that you could move in at a specific time. I believe according to NY right to shelter law, they would be obligated to provide a stipend for a hotel for those 2 weeks you were denied residence.
I’m glad your issues were resolved! I can’t even imagine! Can’t wait to see the apartment! I need some new ideas 😅
Side note… we have the same birthday!! I knew I loved you for a reason!
I would advise you to look for another apartment and not renew your lease..I work for NY 311 and I get calls all the time about apartment maintenance issues, landlords, etc...Looks like their contractors did a lousy job! I'm in a new construction apartment in Manhattan but thank GOD all that was taken care of before I moved in...Like you, I was not having it..Rent is too damn high! Lol..
Wow Sabrina! That was a lot. So sorry you, your fiancé and son experienced such terrible situations in your new apartment. Happy to hear that there hasn't been any additional incidents. Definitely want to see all the updates completed or not in your new space and would definitely love to see a wedding series as you described. Cheers to the rest of the new year being happy. All the best in 2024!!
Hi I just came across your channel I enjoyed watching for me to see this is a sign for God to move on when y’all can
Thank you for this video😊
So sorry you had to go through this. If I were you I’d reach out to Brooklyn legal services tenants rights unit, and inquire about a claim holding them accountable for repairs for everyone in the building (if possible). Civil suits like pain and suffering aren’t always the best way to go and can be costly and time consuming for the plaintiffs. But you can try that too.
Watching this video had me stressed!😤 like it's time to dip out of that lease quickly. Praying it gets sorted out and you can leave, because that is not the place to be with a newborn.
Just like new new model cars you should never take apts on the 1st year. Let them work out the kinks .. but you have been a such a trooper !!! And fyi mice,bugs spiders are part of a new build package 🤷🏻♀️ oh the wall behind ya looks fabulous you have really worked with that lemon of an apt..can wait to see your lemoncello
What a nightmare…prayers up 🙏🏽
Omg. The mice. No ma’am! 🥺🥺
Oh hell no mighty God all of that with a new baby 2 weeks heck no no no no!!!!! I’m so sorry that unwarranted stress
OOOOHHH NOOO the Virgo and mom in me is saying go for their necks!!! I would be reaching out to management to get compensated more than $500 because that is ridiculous. Rent is too damn much for companies to be acting like you doing them a favor for paying it. Don't stay past your lease. We had issues like this in our apartment and the attitude never got any better and we regret staying we are moving this year.
OMG girl thats crazy!!!! I'd sue the breaks off of that apartment company! I hate lazy ass people! Glad you are all safe and sound though.
Happy to hear that the mouse infestation has been remediated. I can't even imagine
These were all red flags and immediate grounds to terminate your lease from day 1. I would not have stayed especially mice and water. That’s why they failed inspection. Run don’t walk…break your lease. I’m sure they’ll waive lease break fee from all of your encounters. And yes please do wedding video. Good luck dear. Sorry you guys at to experience this.
Yes we want to see it but indeed make some calls to to get what u deserve bc that was clearly unacceptable to have to deal with all of that
There's never just one.... that's when it's time to find a way out of your lease
I’m watching this with my mouth open! I’m so sorry this was your experience, especially with an infant. You better call Johnnie Cochran. This is soo unacceptable!
I would not stay after a year lease
Sad about ur apartment news but I hope you get a brand deal that allows you to break ur lease and find the perfect spot for you and ur family.
P.S. I would love to hear or mainly see some of the wedding details.
I would honestly leave but that’s basically equal hassle with an infant… 500 dollars is crazy for 3 months inconvenience
That is awful. They'd pay to relocate me and close my lease and better not put it on my credit. No ma'am, don't let them get away with this crap.
Ima be breaking that lease so fast and moving OUT this is too many problems and they ain’t looking like their going to help in the future.
i’m so furious for you and your family! you seriously need to be compensated!
Yes i love your finds and would be interested.
Move from there
U went thru a lot..shame...sorry hun
Girl all them issues n u still there . Haaa I would be looking for another place . And I dear them to fight me in the lease brackage . I’d advise u to move if something els happens. These r signs . But it’s nice to hear from u.
Baby the way I would’ve called the city inspector. 😮
😂😂😂311
I know I'm late watching this, but I wish you would have moved out of this building. We (me + cats) lived in a moldy apartment for less than a year. Both cats developed asthma during that time and have suffered ever since. (Not to mention the thousands and thousands of dollars in vet bills.) Some landlords are monsters and these companies are even worse. I hope they did indeed resolve your issues and your son's health is not affected.
Dang, the moment they said that they didn't pass inspection should have been the red flag. 🚩
This is freaking ridiculous they should be ashamed
You and my mom have the same birthday.
I know for safety you probably don't disclose, but what part of NYC are you living in?!? This story sounds very Manhattan, although we have shoddy craftmanship across all 5 boroughs lol. Sorry you had to experience this!
I also hope you didn't pay any rent while you were going through all this. I have withheld rent for FAR less
TRIPLE?!!?! 16:26
😂❤❤❤ that’s my daughter birthday 9/15/94 happy belated birthday 🥳
I’m so sorry you had to go through this please get an attorney because this is not it
At this point I would be already looking for another apartment.
If I was you I would try and break the lease early and move. Or if I was you I’d stop with the decorating and just let the lease run out and move when the lease is up. All these problems I wouldn’t be comfortable living there anymore.
That is way too much to handle while navigating being new parents. A new building having mice is wild. I've lived in a new "luxury" building and ive never seen a mice, roach or bugs. You guys should have taken them to court. If you were the ones causing them a havoc they wouldn't hesitate to bring to the law. Praying that youre in a lesser stress today
The carpet
I’d think about moving again. Not a lot to look forward to but this is why buildings are collapsing. It’s also because construction people are hiring unskilled migrant workers who are cheaply paid and having a language problem to the extent that they don’t always understand instructions. Also there should be an inspection before they’re paid. In your case, shoddy work was covered up. So sad. But no one has the energy to wage an ongoing battle with a landlord asking top rent while trying to live life peacefully day to day. I sympathize. Maybe a lawyer is needed to refund you some money and you need to find another place to live. A lawyer will also allow you to break your lease.
What a nightmare
Wow....this is crazy. I know you put in work, but how they handled the situation is unprofessional to say the least! GET OUT as soon as you can. All the signs are there. This is why they failed the inspection. If you hadn't have been persistent with them you guys would be facing health issues.
Stayed😳… Wheeewwww🫨😬 The mice would have been my “Get outta jail free card” ✌🏾✌🏾 I still think they owe you more for all the stress, but at the end of the day, you guys are safe and with your style, the place is going to look amazing!
I think you should legally be able to break your lease. Ain't no way you should stay there.
I would have been PISSED!!!! YOU STAY ON THAT MANAGEMENT! THANK YOU FOR EXPOSING THIS.To live in New York is very expensive! I say one Year and get outta there! seriously!
Wow you all should have sued…and $500 off the rent…nah you giving me the whole month! Anyways, sorry you all had to go through this…that complex needs to shell out more money for the stress and inconvenience
I hope your next place is safer. That’s is bad bad business. Poor craftsmanship all those holes? I could have done a better job. God bless !!
Ouuuuffff.....
