Current Resident

I've lived here a few years dealing with the corporate landlord, Dominium. This company receives substantial government subsidies and calls this "affordable housing". It is not. Saint Paul citizens voted for a rental control measure, but this greedy company self-filed for an exception and got it. Expect 8%+ increases per year. Some were even charged a 15% increase. Additionally, for a non-smoking property, there are a lot of smokers in this building. The stairwells, hallways - especially the first floor, and elevators reek of cigarette smoke. The current property manager is a smoker herself, so I do not expect the odor to improve. The property was built on the cheap and is not aging well. The state of MN is investigating the landlord regarding their relationship with 3rd party utility billing companies. There is a class action suit pending regarding the corporation double dipping - getting money from the government for the parking garage and also charging the residents to park. Corporate corruption and greed - Murica, amiright?
So, if you smoke or like the smell, have plenty of money to pay the rent increases and questionable utility bills, don't mind multiple inspections every year with little notice, and love sirens and parking lot drama, this place is for you. If not, my only advice is to run.
