Fourth Street East Apartments 150 4th Street, Oakland, CA 94607

"Be aware that management will NOT be willing or able to address complaints. I moved into this apartment 7 months ago and have tried to be patient and understanding but I am at my wits end. For months now, there has been incessant loud banging from the unit above me. It is at all hours of the day/night and has disrupted both sleep and work. I have tried to speak with the tenants, and while I hear them inside their unit, they either do not answer the door, or they scream profanities at me. I contacted management and sent videos with time stamps of the encounters and they have done nothing about it. I told them I want to terminate the lease because this noise has started to impact my livelihood, they offer no concern and rejected my request to waive early termination fee. My packages have gotten stolen and I asked for them to provide me the security footage but they told me I have to file a police report and if police ask for the footage then they will provide it. Unfortunately filing with the OPD got me no where. The management here is taking no additional measures to ensure secure package delivery. Unfortunately I cannot in good conscious recommend living here due to the unwillingness of management to create an environment worth living in."

"After a 15 month lease October 2022-Jan 2024, we decided to move on for the following reasons: 1. The building has caught fire twice since we moved in, Dec 2022 and Dec 2023. 2. The garage door was broken every few months. 3. The elevator near our unit was broken regularly. 4. One neighbor lets his dogs roam the hallway unleashed. The dog even got into our unit on the day we moved out. 5. Our downstairs neighbor routinely had loud music on at strange hours. Reports to management did little to change this. 6. Our fridge was broken for a week before it was replaced, and communication about a solution was poor. During its replacement, one of our mirrors (not owned by 4SE) was broken in our hallway. We were told they would follow up to see if they could do anything about it, but nothing happened. 7. We actually expressed intent to renew, several times, via email and via the rentcafe portal in November. We received no follow up communications. 8. The constant pile of trash in the parking garage."

"Good afternoon! After my 1st visit, I wrote a positive review about Brittany Green, the agent who showed me the unit. She was terrific. However, after posting the review, I read the other comments. I've since sent my questions to the leasing office & to the senior execs @ Greystar. Haven't received any answers yet. I toured the 7th floor unit again this afternoon with two of my older children. Again, we liked the unit & the property. I spoke with the woman in the leasing office. She told me that Angela, the property manager would call me today (Tuesday, February 20th). As of now, she hasn't contacted me. Before I proceed, I need answers to these questions in writing: How long has the garage door been inoperable? What is the estimated time for it to be repaired? [Per the review, it has been out since January & the reviewer's car was both damaged & stolen.] What is the elevator operating history? i.e., how often have the elevators been out in each building? How long for the repairs? What is the situation with garbage removal? There are pictures of piles of trash. How often is trash not picked up? What is the situation with packages? What has changed since December when packages have been stolen? What is the situation with construction? Where is construction taking place? How long has Angela been manager? There were complaints about the previous manager. What changes have been implemented in the past 3-5 months since these reviews were written? As stated, I am interested in the property. However, in addition to answers to the above questions, as Alexandra wrote, I would need an exit strategy should I encounter either the above issues or other issues during the 1st three months of my occupancy @ 4th Street East. I look forward to speaking with Angela. Sadly, she has not contacted me."

"If you tour the place you may make the mistake of finding the modern, new- build and amenities attractive, but before you fall for all of that and move in, know that - If you ever plan to street park a car, it WILL get broken into (we’ve had it happen twice in just a few months) You’ll get your packages stolen frequently so forget having a safe place to get anything delivered, and management will shrug their shoulders as if mail going missing all of the time isn’t a problem There will be the constant inconvenience of ongoing construction which makes parking and traffic even worse. If you still need more reasons not to live here - apartment was not properly cleaned on day of move in - building is always stuffy and smelly, often cigarettes smoke in hallways? - outside/surrounding the building always smells of dog pee and often there are puddles of it that you have to avoid stepping in on your way into the building… -location isn’t even convenient/ you’re too far away and not in an area where walking to anything is safe or practical. 0 out of 10 would not recommend this place. And sincerely hope this helps you avoid itIt’s not worth it."

"Future renters be aware: - hallways look like a construction site for 5 months. - hazardous construction (nails poking out of walls, electrical exposed...) - garage door does not work (risk of cars being broken into) - trash looks like a dumpster site - mails got stolen"
